With some awesome road trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to experience all that Charlo, 30 miles away, has to offer. Among your first stops here ought to be National Bison Range, Nine Pipe Reservoir and Ninepipes Museum of Early Montana. The locals are also likely to point you toward Polson, 35 miles away. If you can only find time for one thing here, let it be Kerr Dam. (But we’d also highly recommend Polson Country Club and Miracle of America Museum.)
