Saratoga Hobo Pool

Saratoga's town pool costs nothing and never closes: it's free and open 24 hours a day all year, on the west bank of the North Platte behind the municipal swimming pool at the east end of Walnut Street. The main pool runs from about 106 degrees at its coolest to 119 at the hot end, which is hot enough to scald, so test the water before you settle in or use the Not-So-Hot Pool next door, around 100. Swimsuits are required, and alcohol, tobacco, glass and open containers are banned. There's a bath house with showers and restrooms.
