Outdoor Fun

Cotter invites you to experience an Ozark community’s relaxed, modern-day life-style.

• Not fishing? Float the White River for the scenery alone.
• In Big Spring Park, view the Anglin-Tinnon Railroad Workers Memorial.
• Look for the 31 historical markers on our buildings and landmarks.
• Children and the handicapped may fish in a
  Catch-and-Release area near Big Spring in the park.
• Jump into the swimmin’ hole, actually Big Spring in the park.
• Hike or bike; explore the beautiful trail that begins at Big Spring Park and follows the river.

Trout Fest is held annually on the 3rd weekend in June - with vendor booths in the Cotter Big Spring Park along the riverside. Musical groups perform. Experts demonstrate various fishing techniques. Feast on barbecue or join us for the outdoor fish fry in the Big Spring Park pavilion.
