Saratoga Hot Springs Wyoming

Saratoga Hot Springs Wyoming is a free municipal thermal spring facility on the North Platte River in the small ranching town of Saratoga in Carbon County, Wyoming, where naturally hot sulphurous springs emerge at the riverside and have long been part of a tradition reaching back to the Native American tribes who gathered here at springs they called 'Place of the Magic Water'. The continuously flowing natural sulphurous hot spring water — maintained at around 45°C year-round — fills the community hopper pool and a series of free soaking pools on the riverbank, accessible without charge at any hour of the day or night in what is one of the most generous and accessible hot spring commons in the American West. Saratoga's quiet cattle ranching character, its fly-fishing reputation on the North Platte River (celebrated as one of Wyoming's finest brown trout fisheries), and the backdrop of the Sierra Madre mountains create an authentically Western setting for natural hot spring bathing without commercial infrastructure. Wyoming's Wild West heritage, the surrounding Medicine Bow National Forest, and the remoteness of Carbon County combine with the free flowing sulphurous springs to create one of America's most charmingly unpretentious natural hot spring destinations.
