With some great road trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to soak up everything that Battle Ground, 20 miles away, has to offer. Battle Ground Lake State Park, Pomeroy Living History Farm and Vancouver National Historic Reserve alone justify the drive out here. Vancouver is another great option. It’s 25 miles away and boasts a range of intriguing things to see and do. Vancouver Mall, Jantzen Beach Center and Fort Vancouver National Historic Site are just the start.
