Butler
is located in the northeast corner of Tennessee near Watauga Lake and bills itself as "America's First Frontier." Here you will find lovely lakes and streams, and the crests and valleys of the Appalachian Mountains near the Cherokee National Forest. Part of the Appalachian National Scenic Trails runs through the town of Butler and offers hiking and mountain climbing opportunities. Nearby Watauga Lake has 109 miles of scenic shoreline where you'll find swimming, boating and fishing, sailing, water skiing and picnicking. Other points of interest include the Butler Museum, housed in a train depot replica, nearby underground caverns and historic sites, crafts and antiques shops, golf and horseback riding, and the Bristol Motor Speedway in the neighboring town of Bristol. Restaurants in Butler range from family-style, home cooking to fine dining in a formal setting overlooking the lake. Lodging can be anything from rustic camping to mountain cabins, or historic inns and bed & breakfasts. Butler is definitely off the beaten path, in the historic frontier land of Davy Crockett and Daniel Boone. And, it offers fun activities for the whole family amid the peace and tranquility of the Appalachian Mountains.

Butler Weather & Climate
|
|
|
|
The mountainous Northeast region of Tennessee has a temperate climate with moderately cold winters and warm, humid summers. Precipitation is distributed fairly evenly throughout the year so there is no distinct wet or dry seasons. October has the least rainfall, July the most. Snowfall is variable from year to year, and some winters have relatively little. Thunderstorms occur anytime of the year, but are most frequent in spring and summer. Summer temperatures are rarely extreme, but the high humidity often makes it seem hotter than it actually is. Severe storms are infrequent in the state, being east of the center of tornado activity, south of most blizzard conditions, and too far inland to be affected by hurricanes.
