Something to do, whatever the season

Year-round

Saratoga Hot Springs

One of the town's main attractions, the Saratoga Hot Springs is a free mineral hot springs open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week — a 7–10 minute walk from the inn, or 3 minutes by car.

The main pool averages around 108°F. There's a cooler pool at 95–100°F, and the "lobster pool" runs close to 119°F for those who like it hot. In summer, the North Platte River beside the springs is warmed by them, and makes a great place to cool off.

Spring through fall

The North Platte River

From lazy floats to whitewater rafting, the North Platte has it all, along with outstanding fishing and wildlife viewing. Hack's Tackle & Outfitters in town handles canoe and raft rentals, guided float and fishing trips, and more.

Fall

Hunting

Saratoga is home to some of the most exceptional wildlife in the state, which makes it an excellent base for hunters. The surrounding country holds elk, antelope, deer, moose, bighorn sheep and more.

Our kitchenette suites and 24-hour check-in suit early mornings and long days in the field, and dogs are welcome in most rooms.

Summer & fall

Hiking & mountain biking

There are hiking and biking trails all through the mountains of Carbon County, from relatively easy to long and challenging. The Snowy Range Scenic Byway, with its alpine lakes and trailheads, is a short drive east of town. The Saratoga/Platte Valley Chamber of Commerce is the best source for current trail information.
