Emigrant located along the Yellowstone River is named for the nearby mountain, Emigrant Peak, which rises to an altitude of 10,960 feet. The area offers plenty of fishing opportunities as well as camping and boating. Close by, Chico Hot Springs, is a year-round destination resort offering lodging, fine dining, and a natural hot springs pool. Yellowstone National Park, just south of Emigrant, is the world's first National Park and contains more than 2.2 million acres of steaming geysers, thundering waterfalls, crystalline lakes and panoramic vistas.
