About Cotter

Sitting right along a scenic curve of the White River, Cotter is a relaxed Ozark town famous for world-class trout fishing. Its iconic rainbow-arched bridge and old brick storefronts hint at its start as a bustling railroad hub, but today the pace is much calmer. Locals spend weekends by the river at Big Spring Park, and neighbors know each other by name. It is an easy place to settle down if you love the outdoors and want a close-knit, peaceful community.
