Set amid farms and ranches, the town has a nine-hole public golf course, city parks with a free camping area, a swimming pool and tennis and pickle ball courts, Laramie Peak Museum, library, bowling alley, movie theater and fairgrounds. Good roads lead east to the Grayrocks Reservoir or west to the mountain parks.

Platte County is filled with an endless variety of things to do and see for the nature-lover, including biking, hiking, hunting, fishing, and more.  With its two state parks and plentiful reservoirs, there is great fishing and water recreation with many choices for camping.  Historic sites abound with the Oregon Trail Ruts, and Register Cliff, Ft. Laramie.  We also and boast the oldest bar (Miner’s and Stockmans in Hartville)  and the oldest operating soda fountain (Chugwater Soda Fountain) in the state.

There is natural beauty everywhere, so it is always a good time for the avid photographer to find incredible scenery and everchanging skyscapes to capture.

Platte County is a little piece of heaven. Look around – there is something that will capture your heart within the county that we are proud to call home.
