With some awesome day trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to explore everything that La Crosse, 30 miles away, has to offer. Among your first few stops here ought to be Riverside Park, Mount La Crosse Ski Area and Grandad Bluff Park. Locals will also likely point you toward Rochester, 40 miles away. If you only have time for one attraction here, let it be Apache Mall. (But we’re also big fans of National Volleyball Center and Rochester Recreation Center.)
