With some awesome day trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to enjoy all that Texarkana, 35 miles away, has to offer. Among the first stops you make here ought to be Central Mall, Holiday Springs Water Park and Texarkana Farmers’ Market. Locals will also likely point you in the direction of Jefferson, 55 miles away. If you only have time for one attraction here, let it be Gone With the Wind Museum. (But we’re also huge fans of Freeman Plantation and Jefferson Historical Museum.)
