With some terrific day trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to enjoy all that Cobden, 18 miles away, has to offer. Among the first stops you make here ought to be Giant City State Park, Rustle Hill Winery and StarView Vineyards. Don’t skip Chester either! Just 25 miles away, Elzie C. Segar Memorial Park, Chester Skating Rink and Popeye Museum are must-sees here.
