The Tobacco Heritage Trail is relatively flat with some bridges, waterless restrooms and picnic tables. Several interpretive signs offer educational opportunities with themes of tobacco production, railroads, African-American history, American Indian history, and birding. The trail has been designated a Virginia Birding and Wildlife Trail by the Department of Game and Inland Fisheries. Much of the trail passes through agricultural lands and heavily wooded areas. The westernmost section of this route, from Brodnax to LaCrosse is paved; the remainder of the trail to Lawrenceville has a crushed rock dust surface and is, therefore, more “horse-friendly” and preferred by equestrians. Access and right-of-ways have been graciously given so please respect all areas. Do not wander off the trail. All caches in this series can be found usually within 25 feet of the edge of the trail.
No motorized vehicles are allowed on the trail but hiking, biking, and horseback riding are permitted. No night caching please. Dawn to dusk use only. It is recommended that you wear blaze orange during hunting season.
