I started playing with the search bar on Atlas Obscura yesterday, and it's a pretty remarkable tool. While by no means does it give a comprehensive listing of local sights, it does uncover – as the site's name would imply – some fairly obscure and interesting places for a day trip.
Take for example Bude, MS. I've blasted through there on the way to the Clear Springs mountain bike trails for decades. It's small, but in seconds the search function dug up about 15 interesting nearby places. None of these were mountain bike trails, admittedly, but sometimes that is a plus. It's not comprehensive, it's just unusual.
If you're looking for a day trip, Atlas Obscura's search bar is a pretty good place to start. If you're just daydreaming, the random location button is pretty nice too.
Here, have some related music.
