This trailhead and Emerson Campground are located at the end of Forest Road 40, off Co. Rd. 1 just south of Eagleville. Both South and North Emerson Trailheads start from here. These trails form a loop as well as give access to the eastern slopes of the South Warner Wilderness and Owl Creek Trail. A suggestion would be to take the South Emerson Trail going up and return via the North Emerson Trail. Bear Camp Flat Trail connects with the South Emerson Trail.
South Emerson Trailhead is primarily first-come, first-served. Use the availability view to gauge how busy it is before you go.
