Lawrenceville to Brodnax – Round-trip 25 miles

When you plan to make a trip to the Lawrenceville section, plan to pack a picnic! There are some lovely wooded spots along the trail with picnic tables for a sandwich al fresco.

Pass on through the town of Lawrenceville west towards Brodnax and the domestic surroundings give way to the untamed forest. The first bridge greets you with an informational sign about tobacco farming history in Southern Virginia. It explains the namesake of the Tobacco Heritage Trail. There are ten additional interpretive signs along the trail that give information about rail history, birding, equestrian heritage and more.

This surface is a smooth compacted crushed stone and is easily walkable for families and those unaccustomed to hiking.
For cyclists, tires 35mm and wider suggested.

You can also take advantage of the amenities along this trail segment which include benches, picnic tables, horse mounting benches and hitching posts and four solar powered restrooms.
