With some awesome road trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to explore all that Athens, 25 miles away, has to offer. Soak up the sights beginning with Convocation Center, Peden Stadium and Hot Dog Museum. The locals will also likely point you toward Nelsonville, 35 miles away. If you can only see one thing here, let it be Fun Barn. (But we’d also recommend Wayne National Forest Athens Unit and Stuart’s Opera House.)
