Brodnax to La Crosse ~ Round-trip 6.6 miles
Parking: off Highway 58, Regional Airport Rd, Brodnax, VA 23920.
Head West towards La Crosse for 3.3 miles. This is a paved surface. Your journey will take you by the regional airport and into the woods by an abandoned barn. These remains stand sentinel to tobacco farming in Southern Virginia. At this point expect to see wild turkey, deer, squirrels, rabbits, butterflies and the occasional snake. Please be respectful of all wildlife. Eventually you will pass town businesses, churches, and residences and emerge in the Town of La Crosse.
A short distance from the parking is a native icon, Whitby’s Store. Pay a visit for summer-fresh produce, locally canned pickles and jams or an ice cold soda! A home-grown peach will hit the spot after a hot day on the trail.
