The joy of renting a car is that you can travel anywhere, anytime. Make the most of your newfound freedom by discovering all that there is to do in Mercer. It’s just 45 miles away. Among the first stops you make here ought to be Carow Park, Lake of the Falls and Mercer Depot Museum. The locals will also probably point you in the direction of Hayward, 45 miles away. If you can only see one attraction here, make sure it’s American Birkebeiner Trail. (But we’re also huge fans of National Fresh Water Fishing Hall of Fame and Museum and Shues Pond Park.)
