If you’re looking for day-trip inspiration, we’ve got a couple of suggestions. Located 20 miles away, Marion is worth the drive. Among your first few stops here ought to be Crab Orchard National Wildlife Refuge, Marion Carnegie Library and Rent One Park. The locals will also probably point you in the direction of Cobden, 25 miles away. If you can only find time for one thing here, let it be Giant City State Park. (But we’re also big fans of Rustle Hill Winery and StarView Vineyards.)
