With some terrific road trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to experience everything that Mountain View, 25 miles away, has to offer. Among the first stops you make here ought to be Ozark Folk Center State Park, Blanchard Springs Caverns and Cash’s White River Theater. Hardy is another popular option. It’s 35 miles away and has a range of fascinating things to see and do. Loberg Park, Veterans Military Museum and Main Street of Hardy are only the start.
