About This Access Site
The Emigrant access site is a state fishing access area located in southwest Montana near the small town of Emigrant in Park County. This site features a **carry-in boat ramp** suitable for launching kayaks, canoes, and smaller watercraft on the Yellowstone River. The facility includes day-use amenities and restrooms, making it a convenient put-in point for paddlers exploring this section of the river.
This access point is popular with paddlers looking to float downstream, with Grey Owl Fishing Access approximately 2 miles below serving as a near takeout option. For longer floats, the next major access is roughly 12-14 miles downstream, which can be challenging during lower water conditions. The carry-in style ramp means you'll need to transport your vessel by hand or cart rather than using a vehicle-assisted launch, so come prepared with appropriate gear for your watercraft size and weight.
