Emigrant Creek is a 4.8-mile out-and-back hike in the Trinity Alps Wilderness, part of the Big Bar Ranger District of Shasta-Trinity National Forest in northern California. The Forest Service manages the land, and the trail is rated moderate, with a one-way climb of about 1,870 feet from a low point of 3,006 feet to a high of 4,794 feet. The trail is natural-surfaced and allows horses, but bikes are not permitted. That makes it a good fit for riders on foot or horseback. Several other outings sit close by. Slide Creek, a canoeing spot, is about a mile away, and the Battle Creek and Bake Oven Ridge Trail hikes are within 2 miles. For an overnight stay, Matthews Campground is about 9 miles off.
