With some great day trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to enjoy everything that McCook, 25 miles away, has to offer. See the sights starting with TJ’S Family Fun Center, Heritage Hills Golf Course and Jaycees Complex. Locals will also likely point you toward Lexington, 40 miles away. If you can only find time for one attraction here, make sure it’s Dawson County Raceway. (But we’d also recommend Heartland Museum of Military Vehicles and Arbor Park.)
