The paved road leading north from highway US 160 at the city park winds its way north and a little west to Zenda in Kingman County.
The name Attica refers to the region of ancient Greece that contained Athens.
Attica has an unusually nice park with rest rooms on the east side of town. Overnight camping is permitted.
