Our History
Gaston's White River Resort began 61 years ago when Al Gaston, Jim Gaston's father, purchased 20 acres of White River frontage with six small cottages and six boats...the year was 1958.
Present day, Jim’s grandson - Clint Gaston - will carry on the family legacy for many years to come. The resort now covers over 400 acres, and has 79 cottages ranging in size from two double beds to ten private bedrooms. The airstrip has grown from 1,800 feet to 3,200 feet. The six boats are now over 70, and with a state of the art dock to hold them all. The years have brought an award winning restaurant, private club, gift shop, tennis court, playground, game room, duck pond, three nature trails, swimming pool, conference lodge, and fly fishing school.

My second favorite event at Gaston's ... wish we knew when a fly-in was scheduled ... we would do our best to attend them all.
Flown in there many times over the years

I LOVE Gaston's. Although I've never stayed there because my family lives in Lakeview, I go nearly every day when I am visiting and there is free time. This place is so calming to me. The water is mesmerizing. This video makes me want to trek back to AR for another Gaston's fix!
We took a mini vacation with you in August. My wife and I had a great time. Very, very nice place.
Thank you for years of memories! We’ve celebrated many holidays and special occasions and love to call Gaston’s our second home.
We used to always go down there every 4th of July holiday in the early 90's up until 96-97ish. Some of my favorite vacation memories growing up were here due to all the good fishing around and the nice relaxing atmosphere.
Whenever I have been to the States and Arkansas always tried to get to Gaston's. Love the place. Wonder if many English people have been there.
Always enjoy our visit, like home away from home, all staff is awesome!
Headed back in December. Love your place!!
Gaston’s is my go to place! I love it there!
My favorite home away from home.
The greatest place on earth!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
John Ellexson This is the place i was telling you about.
Jarriet Berry we need to take a little road trip. 🤔
I love Gastons Resort!
Check out the size of this golden rainbow that was caught while fishing with our guide, Shawn White!

My fiancée last year on the white
Beautiful. Glad to see them getting bigger. I figured the Herons would get most of them since they are so easy to see.
Beautiful fish! I caught one of those but much smaller 9 days ago when we were there !
I've been to Gastons many times and trout fishing the White and Little Red for years. I've never even heard of a golden Rainbow trout. Where have I been? Amazing.
Would it be wrong to say that is a really beautiful fish? I don't care if it is. That is a beautiful fish!
Nice one!!! Caught one last time I was there. Not that big but they are a pretty. Looks like a brick of gold swimming around!
Rainbows are prettier than goldens. Nice to see such a big golden, though, and it would be a good bucket trout list add-on.
My husband caught a golden rainbow last September there ..they are beautiful
Wow how Lucky I have been fishing there for years and never caught one like that.
Must be a hybrid. I thought. Golden trout were at very high elevations?
That’s quite the color. I’ve seen rainbows but never a golden.
Going there for lunch and fishing next week......beautiful fish.....
That is a beautiful fish.
I chased a golden trout for 30 minutes. It was nice to see it swimming!
Planning to make a trip down, it’s been about 3 years now. When is the best fishing time in October or November?
Wow...never seen one..that would be one to mount.
So pretty . I'm glad he caught and released .
What a pretty color , amazing 🤩
Wow! That water is low! Early morning?!?
Just wondering if goldens are native to the white river?
It is beautiful! Is it a mutate?
That's amazing! Never knew there was such a thing! Beautiful!
Coming there in a couple of weeks to maybe catch me one of those beauties! Congratulations
Beautiful! The hat is nice too!
I have never seen a golden!
It was a cub kind of weekend!

My Grandma worked there about 20 years ago!!!!! It was an amazing place for a kid....I was only about 10
Go to your restaurant, often. Great dining!!
Wow! Too bad I have a job I love, that girl looks like she would be awesome to work with ! 😃
My favorite people. They are the best.
And the food is excellent
Housekeeping makes Gaston's shine, love those hardworking individuals!
Best place to go for trout fishing IMO
What y’all do is very important. My wife and I thank you. If things were not cleaned and neat it would be noticed quickly. So Thank you. At Gaston’s. We’ve made memories of a lifetime.
Thank you! We will see you in Oct/Nov.!
I worked there in the maintenance department about 35 years ago..was a good place to work..
Amazing place
This is freakin hilarious. They do NOT have that many housekeepers. They may have 6 tops and other than the restaurant this place is terrible
Yeah but do you fluff the pillows
Well your restaurant service sucks ass !!! Never, ever, ever will we eat there again !!!!
Love this place
Been there, Pricey ...
This is where my granddaughter got married!
