Explore Wyoming's Platte County

Start Exploring...

We like to call Platte County the heart of Wyoming even though we are in the southeast region of the state. We know you’ll love the people, the hospitality, and an endless array of things to see and do.  Platte County may not be in the heart of the state, but we know you’ll leave a piece of your heart when it comes time to leave – which means – you’ll be back!
