If your trip to Joplin is all sorted out but your itinerary is a bit on the empty side, let us give you a helping hand.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

See what's going on in nearby Lamar. What's 30 miles when you've got your very own ride? The drive itself is half the fun! Among your first stops here ought to be Lamar Lake, Harry S. Truman Birthplace and Lamar City Park. Locals will also probably point you in the direction of Grove, 35 miles away. If you can only see one attraction here, make sure it's Grand Lake O' the Cherokees. (But we're also big fans of Har-Ber Village and The Cayuga Mission Church.)

Question 3

What kind of rental car should I get for Joplin?

Accepted Answer

Sure, you can explore Joplin without renting a vehicle. But with loads to do here, having one would make your stay more enjoyable. If you'd like to get out of the city and into nature, book a car with some power. A larger car like an SUV will get you to the area's prairies in comfort and style. Spending most of your escape close to the bright lights of the city? A small, economical car is the way to go. Maneuvering around busy streets and squeezing into tiny parking spots will be a walk in the park with one of these.
