With some awesome road trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to enjoy everything that Arcata, 45 miles away, has to offer. See the best sights starting with Blue Lake Casino, Arcata Theatre Lounge and Arcata Community Forest. Yreka is another terrific option. It’s 50 miles away and boasts tons of intriguing things to do. Yreka Park, Yreka Historic District and Greenhorn Park are only the start.
