With some great day trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to experience all that Eastland, 25 miles away, has to offer. Park Hill Park and Water Park, Old Rip Park and Ringling Lake Park alone make the drive out here worthwhile. Dublin is another wonderful option. It’s 30 miles away and home to a range of interesting things to see and do. Dublin Historical Museum, Dublin Rodeo Heritage Museum and Ben Hogan Museum are just the start.
