SCENIC RECREATION AND FUN
It’s impossible to 昀椀nd more rugged
beauty than in the area around Emmett
in the Treasure Valley. Squaw Butte,
perched at the northern extremity of
the fertile Emmett Valley, protrudes
roughly 5,900 feet above sea level and
offers a beautiful perspective of the
valley below to hikers and mountain
climbers. Countless campsites offer fresh
mountain air and easy access to slow
or swift river stretches with abundant
昀椀sh and wooded banks. Spectacular
swimming spots and secluded picnic
spaces are available along the Payette
River, making it a popular destination for
outdoor enjoyment.
Emmett is home to a wide variety of
community activities in addition to its
abundant chances for outdoor leisure.
The opening of the Emmett Farmers
Market in the spring is an annual event
that generates much excitement. When
summer rolls around, Emmett becomes
inundated with over a thousand classic
vehicles for the Emmett Show and
Shine and Emmett Cruise Night. Gem
County hosts a fair and rodeo on the
昀椀rst weekend of August, drawing in
cowboys and locals alike. The Emmett
Cherry Festival has been held annually
since the 1930s to honor the fruitful soil of
the Emmett Valley, and it is open to the
public at no cost.
A variety of free activities, including
parades and concerts at night, are
provided for local residents and visitors
alike as the town transforms into a
lively festival. Because of its beautiful
scenery, welcoming small-town vibe, and
abundant social activities, Emmett is a
great place to call home.
