With some terrific day trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to explore all that Winthrop, 30 miles away, has to offer. Explore the area starting with Pearrygin Lake State Park, Bear Creek Golf Course and Big Twin Lake. Don’t forget about Manson either! Just 35 miles away, Lake Chelan State Park, Mill Bay Casino and Wapato Point Cellars are essential stops here.
