(N-2 heads east toward Ellsworth and Broken Bow and west toward Antioch and Alliance.)

Immediately thereafter N-250 jogs to the west before quickly passing north through the small community.

On the northside of Lakeside, N-250 curves to head east–northeast to run along the northern shore of a small, unnamed lake.

[1][2] One mile (1.6 km) from its southern terminus N-250 curves to head northerly through rolling sand hills and passing by multiple small lakes and ponds (nearly all of which are unnamed).

Just under 4 miles (6.4 km) more to the north (and east of Cravath Lake) N-250 connects with the west end of 358th Trail, which heads east to end at Nebraska Highway 27 (Mari Sandoz Sandhills Trail).
