Wyoming’s hot springs are often a topic when people talk about Yellowstone (too hot!) and Thermopolis (the world’s largest), but did you know there’s a public hot spring pool that’s open 24/7/365? No matter the weather, no matter the hour, you can relax at the Saratoga Hobo Hot Springs.

Saratoga, Wyoming is a quiet, remote town in Carbon County. Even though the population is only about 1,600 people, it draws thousands of visitors every year, mainly for one reason - it's famous hot springs.

The town of Saratoga was named from an Iroqouis word that references healing water, and that's exactly what you'll find here. On the banks of the North Platte River, naturally hot water has been a spot for travelers to soak away their worries for hundreds of years.

If you're hesitant to slip into the river, you can also enjoy the famous hot springs at the "Hobo Pool," a county-maintained recreation area that divides the mineral water into the Hot Pool and the Not-So-Hot pool.
