Review & FAQ:

Just outside the town of Carrollton, not far from the confluence of the Ohio and Kentucky rivers, General Butler Park is a state park with a lodge, a campground, and a handful of cabins. Many visitors choose to spend the night, but it's also an excellent place for a day trip, and popular activities include exploring the park's five miles of hiking trail and paddle-boating on Butler Lake. It's also worth taking a guided tour of the Butler-Turpin Historic home, which was built in 1859 and is still furnished with family heirlooms and other unique period pieces.
