Fremont Peak State Park, State park in Gabilan Mountains, California, USA.

Fremont Peak State Park covers the summit of 3,173-foot (967 m) Fremont Peak in the Gabilan Range, on land spanning Monterey and San Benito counties. The 162-acre park, established in 1934, holds pine and California oak woodlands of the chaparral and woodlands ecoregion, with trails, picnic facilities and 22 campsites.

The peak takes its name from explorer John C. Frémont, who in 1846 raised an American flag on this hill during a mapping expedition through western territories. The act created a short standoff with Mexican authorities, who still controlled the region at the time.

Fremont Peak Day is held every April with a picnic and other activities at the park. The Fremont Peak Observatory, opened in 1986, has operated every summer since despite the often harsh mountaintop weather, and its 30-inch telescope is used for public stargazing.

The park holds 22 tent and RV campsites, plus picnic facilities and hiking trails; the summit road and trails climb to 967 m, so expect cold, windy mountaintop weather even in summer. Fremont Peak Day is held each April with a picnic and other activities.

On a clear day, the summit offers a view of Monterey Bay, Santa Clara Valley, and San Benito Valley all at once, which is rare from a single inland vantage point. This position between three geographic regions makes the top feel like a natural crossroads of central California.
