With some great road trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to explore everything that Mercer, 18 miles away, has to offer. Carow Park, Lake of the Falls and Mercer Depot Museum alone justify the drive. Situated 30 miles away, Eagle River is another popular choice. If you drop by, be sure to check out Amsoil Eagle River Derby Track, Eagle River Golf Course and Eagle Falls Adventure Golf & Laser Tag.
