Emigrant Springs, in Lincoln County, Wyoming near Kemmerer, was an important camping ground area of wagon trains on the Emigrant Trail headed for California or Oregon, and is now a historic site listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It is located on a "main branch" of the Sublette Cutoff of the Emigrant Trail, where the slightly longer but better watered Slate Creek Cutoff rejoins the Sublette Cutoff. It is named for a spring feeding Emigrant Creek, which empties into Slate Creek. It is located in a hollow and has also been known as Indian Springs.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Emigrant Springs )〕 The Emigrant Trail splits further west into trails to California vs. to Oregon.
