RecreationThe town of the Butte surrounds the geological formation Bodenburg Butte, from which the town draws its name. There are two hikes to the 900-foot summit, which offers 360-degree views of the surrounding Matanuska Valley and distant Knik Glacier. Located within town is the Knik River Public Use Area (KRPUA), which provides a full spectrum of outdoor recreational opportunities and is open to motorized and non-motorized recreational pursuits. Activities common to the area include riding off-highway vehicles (OHVs), hunting, fishing, trapping, target shooting, boating, flying planes, horseback riding, biking, hiking, camping, and wildlife viewing.[1] The Butte is also home to the Alaska Raceway Park, which has been operating for more than 50 years.

The Reindeer farm is featured in an episode of Discovery's Dirty Jobs.[4] EconomyThe economic backbone of the Butte is a substantial agricultural network of producing farms as well as the State of Alaska Plant Materials Center.[5] Organic and conventional farms in the area supply a bounty of produce to the local farmer's markets of the surrounding areas. A variety of other small businesses in the area include equestrian centers, coffee shops and restaurants, and a boatbuilder.
