Granite Road

Trail Overview

The trail can be divided into three distinct sections. At the start, it follows a well-maintained, creamy-colored path that remains mostly straight and skirts past several farmhouses. Beyond that, travelers enter a dirt track between fields that receives little upkeep and becomes especially rough when wet. The final stretch turns into an unmaintained muddy track running through open fields, where slippery patches make passage challenging during or after heavy rain. There are no formal or dispersed campsites along this route, and basic amenities such as trash disposal and water are absent. Cell service is limited, so check your onX app for coverage.

Difficulty

The trail is well-maintained and routinely graded to support a range of local use, but does become a dirt track later on.

History

The Gravel Line follows a scenic stretch of Nebraska's rural past, from Kansas to Nebraska, entirely on gravel. These quiet backroads once linked farms, rail towns, and prairie homesteads--routes shaped by everyday life on the Plains. Today, the trail invites travelers to slow down and experience the landscape much as early settlers and locals once did. It's a peaceful drive through rolling hills, open skies, and the quiet history woven into Nebraska's countryside.
