General Butler State Resort Park is a fitting tribute to one of Kentucky’s foremost military families. Named for General William Orlando Butler, the military fame of the family spans from colonial time, through the American Revolution, the War of 1812, the Mexican War and the Civil War. Enjoy Butler’s unique setting at the confluence of the Kentucky and Ohio Rivers from the scenic overlook. One of the highest points in Carroll County, the lookout was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the early 1930s.
