Gaston Road - NFR 259

Gaston Road is a scenic trail that runs primarily north-south near the western border of the Bessey Ranger District of the Nebraska National Forest and Grassland (near Halsey, NE). Although there are occasional reminders that the surface was once asphalt, the road surface varies between sand, gravel, and dirt. Winding through open sandhills, the Gaston Road provides access to a variety of recreational opportunities, including hiking, camping, and wildlife viewing. There is also access to several other trails in the 141-square-mile Bessey Ranger District.
