The World Famous Miracle Mile The North Platte River has a 104-mile stretch through Upper Platte Valley named as a blue-ribbon trout stream by Wyoming Game and Fish. Near Seminoe Reservoir lies a 7-mile stretch of river famous for huge trout and great fly fishing. This stretch of the North Platte River is called Miracle Mile. For those who love to fish, Miracle Mile is a little stretch of heaven.

Navigating to Miracle Mile: From Sinclair: Take County Road 351 north for 45 miles (this road may be closed or require chains during winter months) From Hanna: Take County Road 291 north; turn west on County Rd 351

”The "Mile" has always had the reputation of being a trophy fishery, and some truly large fish are taken there each year.…” read more an article by Rod Walinchus from flyfisherman.com about the Miracle Mile.

Seminoe State Park Good river fishing can be found along the North Platte River from I-80 at Fort Fred Steele State Historic Site all the way to the Gray Reef Area below Alcova Dam. In between lies the famous “Miracle Mile,” well-known for its blue ribbon fishing. Seminoe Reservoir offers some great fishing, particularly in June and July, for both trout and walleye. Both species inhabit the entire reservoir, though there are areas of greater concentration for each. State record walleye have been pulled from Seminoe in years past.

The quiet and picturesque resort town of Saratoga, Wyoming holds a true Carbon County gem; Hobo Hot Springs.  Much of the history of Saratoga revolves around the world famous mineral hot springs and thermal waters. Native Americans would come and soak in the hot springs which were considered neutral territory. Eventually a bath house was built as more and more visitors began coming to the Platte Valley. The same waters that brought the first settlers into the fertile North Platte River Valley still attract tired travelers and natives alike. Free and open to the public 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, the Saratoga Hot Pool is the ultimate for healthy relaxation with water temperatures ranging from 101 to 110 degrees. The Lobster Pot at one end of Hobo Pool is a steamy 120 degrees. Recent improvements to the hot pool have made it safer and more enjoyable for the entire family. Restrooms and changing facilities are available on-site. Find this natural treasure in Saratoga’s City Park on Walnut Street. Behind Hobo hot springs, are several thermal seeps on the banks of the North Platte River; primitive rock formations trap runoff from the Hobo Pool and these thermal seeps creating hot pools by the banks of the North Platte River.

Hobo Hot Springs Is Open 24 Hours A Day 7 Days A Week FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC Come for some healthy relaxation!
