The Saratoga "Hobo Hot Pool" is a
favorite among locals and visitors alike.
Open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and FREE to the public, the pool is
owned and maintained by the Town of Saratoga. There is a changing room with
showers and bathroom facilities at the Hot Springs.
Original inhabitants of the Valley, the
American Indians, used the hot springs as a neutral area and believed that
the hot springs had a healing power. The hot pool averages around 106°
F from its coolest part to 119° F to its warmest part of the pool. The
pool is now used as a place to relax and enjoy.
The Saratoga Municipal Swimming Pool, one of the few
remaining outdoor pools in Wyoming, is located adjacent to the Hobo Pool.
The municipal pool is open seasonally from late May until early September.
For pool hours and swim rates, please contact the Town of Saratoga
307-326-8335.
The hot pool and
swimming pool are located
on Walnut Street. From First Street (Hwy
130), turn east on Walnut. Go two blocks to the end of road. You will see
the swimming pool building in front, and there are sidewalks to the Hobo Pool on each side
of the building.
