Saratoga Wyoming Tourism

Saratoga is the “Good Times Valley”. Saratoga was named by early settlers from the east, as our free outdoor natural hot springs reminded them of Saratoga Springs in New York.

The Upper North Platte Valley River divides the town in half. Fishermen come from far and wide to toss their line in this river teaming with rainbow trout. River access is plentiful and easy – you can fish a few feet from your backdoor here in Saratoga! Let your cares melt away with a delicious dinner and a good night’s sleep at one of our lovely bed and breakfasts, cozy motels, and extraordinary guest resorts, which offer accommodations for all tastes.

Enjoy the spectacular Snowy Range and Sierra Madre mountains. There are 425 miles of snowmobile trails, cross-country skiing trails and Class 1 blue-ribbon trout fishing in the North Platte Valley. Fall colors can be seen on the mountains and in the valleys while hunting antelope, deer and elk, enhancing all your fall activities. Guides for hunting, fishing and floating are plentiful. Tour the National Fish Hatchery and the Grand Encampment Museum.

Annual calendar events include: Saratoga Lake Ice Fishing Derby and Sierra Madre Winter Carnival in January; Donald E. Erickson Memorial Chariot Races in February; Woodchoppers Jamboree and Rodeo in June; Platte Valley Arts Festival, Independence Day Parade, Platte River Rodeo and Grand Encampment Cowboy Gathering and Mountain Man Rendezvous in July; Carbon County Fair, Steinley Cup Microbrewery Competition and Saratoga Bullfest in August; Encampment Copper Days Festival in September; Festival of Trees and Auction and Christmas Parade and Winter Wonderland in December.
