With some awesome road trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to experience all that Prairie Du Chien, 20 miles away, has to offer. Pikes Peak State Park, Casino Queen and Wyalusing State Park alone justify the drive. Locals are also likely to point you toward Spring Green, 30 miles away. If you only see one thing here, let it be Taliesin. (But we’re also big fans of American Players Theatre and Spring Green General Store.)
