Cotter
is a small city located in Baxter County in north-central Arkansas along the White River. As of the 2010 census, the population was 1,078. Although small in size, the twin cities of Cotter and Gassville offer an abundance of things to see and do. Called Trout Capital USA, the fabled White River runs right through the two towns. Historic Cotter rests below the bluffs on a horseshoe bend in the river roughly 18 miles downstream of the Bull Shoals Lake Dam. The town of Gassville sits at a slightly higher elevation. With over 4 miles of riverfront access, the clear, cold waters of the White River produces trophy-size rainbow, brown and cutthroat trout. Both Field and Stream and Outdoor Life Magazines have rated Cotter, Gassville and the surrounding Twin Lakes Region as one of the top fishing and retirement destinations in the United States. Cotter has a historic downtown area with beautifully restored buildings and businesses. Both Cotter and Gassville offer award winning restaurants, modern and rustic lodging, camping, shopping, parks, springs, and hiking trails. The Cotter Trout Festival is usually held the first week of May and offers vendors with arts and crafts, face painting, food, drinks, fishing and nonstop music. The Annual Shawnee Supreme Boat Trout Invitational is held at Cotters Big Spring Park in March of each year. This one day fishing tournament is for both skilled and novice, where two person teams come together to compete.

Cotter Weather & Climate
|
|
|
|
North-central Arkansas, near the Missouri border, lies the Ozark Plateau, an area of rugged hills and deep valleys. It's both the coolest and the driest part of the state, and the seasons are more distinct here than in other areas of the state. The average January temperature is 34.9, and the average July temperature of 79. This area receives an average of 45.20 inches of precipitation each year. More snow falls each winter in this part of the state than in any other. Summers are hot, hazy and humid, with frequent thunderstorms. Arkansas is also prone to weather extremes, such as tornadoes and receives on average 26 each year. It's far enough away from the Gulf Coast to be safe from a direct hit from a hurricane. However, it can get the remnants of a tropical system which dumps tremendous amounts of rain in a short time and may spawn smaller tornadoes.
