With some awesome road trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to experience all that Highland, 18 miles away, has to offer. See the best sights beginning with Hyde Park Station, Chance Theater and Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum. Situated 19 miles away, Kingston is another popular option. If you drop by, make sure you check out Ulster Performing Arts Center, Hudson Valley Mall and Forsyth Park.
