With some terrific road trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to explore everything that Somerset, 30 miles away, has to offer. See the sights beginning with Somerset Amphitheater, Apple River Hideaway and River’s Edge Apple River Campground. Shell Lake is another terrific option. It’s 30 miles away and has tons of fun things to do. Shell Lake Arts Center, Museum of Woodcarving and The Potter’s Shed are just the start.
