With some great day trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to explore everything that Susanville, 35 miles away, has to offer. Diamond Mountain Casino ought to be at the top of your to-do list here. Susanville Ranch Park and Roop’s Fort are awesome attractions too. Don’t skip Downieville either! Just 40 miles away, The Downieville Downhill, Chimney Rock/Empire Creek Trails and Underground Gold Miners Museum are non-negotiable stops here.
