The resort is located 44 miles northeast of Louisville. From Louisville, take I-71 to Carrollton. If you are coming from the Huntington area traveling west off of I-64, take exit #172. Drive north on Hwy 1, to Triple A Hwy north. Take Triple A Hwy North to I-275 West. Drive West on I-275 to I 71/75 South, then I-71 South to Exit 44. Turn right on Hwy 227 to the Park.
We got a cabin for my friends and I and when we got there we realized that they had moved our cabin without telling us, we needed an ADA compliant cabin and they moved us to one that was not. They brought us a ramp but it was a bit wobbly and not a solid solution so I ended up leaving my power chair in the car and bringing my manual chair inside. The room was supposed to sleep four but there was only one bed and not even a couch, so we used our own cots and air mattresses. The restaurant on site is great, the employees were nice and very apologetic, I'd go again as long as we get the cabin we ordered next time
It's a great place to just swing by for a bit of Mother nature. Always enjoy my visits. Either for a long stay or just a visit, it's a beautiful place.
I stayed in a cabin at General Butler State Resort Park in August of 2023. The temperature outside was almost 100, but my cabin was cool and comfortable. I also hike the Butler Lake Trail during my stay and took some beautiful photos!
I am so appalled by the roads in the park. I have truly loved this park my entire life, and this is absolutely unacceptable. It’s also unbelievable. I have never seen the roads in this park fixed in decades. Their so called repairs are pathetic. There are no excuses for this whatsoever. What are you doing with the tax payers money, refusing to fix our park’s roads? Decades later and nothing! It’s practically impossible to drive up this hill, without feeling like you need to drive in the middle of the lanes. The side of the road is so bad it makes you think you’re going to fall off the cliff. It’s terrifying driving on it, period! Do something for goodness sakes, this is beyond as bad as it gets. You should be ashamed of yourselves. This beautiful, and monumental park deserves so much better!
