Hooked on Fall at Gaston’s

[body]

As fall settles along the Ozark Mountains, Gaston’s White River Resort becomes a living postcard. Cool mornings bring a layer of mist across the water, hardwoods shift into shades of gold and amber and the landscape takes on a quiet calm that makes it easy to slow down and soak it all in.

It’s an especially good time to experience the White River, where trout fishing has brought anglers back for generations. Head out with an experienced guide who knows the river’s best stretches, rent a boat and explore at your own pace or learn the finer points of fly fishing. Trophy browns and rainbow trout give serious anglers plenty to chase, while a quiet morning on the water can be just as rewarding.

Beyond the river, Gaston’s has even more in store.

Walk nature trails beneath the changing leaves. Watch for wildlife or join a birdwatching program led by a ranger from nearby Bull Shoals-White River State Park. Spend time at the pool, tennis courts or game room. Explore hiking and mountain biking trails, then come back to a comfortable cottage just steps from the river.

When hunger sets in, Gaston’s Restaurant keeps the White River in view. Order the house-specialty rainbow trout, go for a mouthwatering steak or bring in your own catch and have the kitchen prepare it for you.

For more than 60 years, families, fishing buddies, couples and groups have made memories here. What began with six cottages and six boats has grown into a 400-acre Ozark retreat with riverfront lodging, over 70 boats, guided fishing and a full resort experience like no other.

This fall, come make a few memories of your own.
