If you’re searching for day-trip inspiration, we’ve got a couple of suggestions. Situated 25 miles away, Marion is worth hopping in the car for. Crab Orchard National Wildlife Refuge, Marion Carnegie Library and Rent One Park alone make the drive out worthwhile. Cobden is another great option. It’s 40 miles away and home to an array of interesting things to do. Giant City State Park, Rustle Hill Winery and StarView Vineyards are only the start.
