With some terrific day trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to soak up all that Pine Bluff, 40 miles away, has to offer. Lake Pine Bluff, Pines Mall and Delta Rivers Nature Center alone make the drive out worth it. The locals are also likely to point you toward Clarksdale, 45 miles away. If you can only find time for one attraction here, make sure it’s Delta Blues Museum. (But we’re also big fans of Red’s Lounge and New Roxy.)
