The Tobacco Heritage Trail, a system of long-distance recreational, multiuse, non-motorized trails, is a project of major importance for Southside Virginia. The off-road trail, which will primarily utilize abandoned railroad corridors, will be limited to non-motorized traffic (not including handicap equipment) and will be for multiple user groups, pedestrians, hikers, bicyclists, and horseback riders. With portions accessible to those with mobility limitations.

The Town has pursued with the help of local businesses and citizens, to open 5 miles of the trail that will connect to the Town & Railroad Park in the Central Business District. Through donations by the public and businesses we have cleared 3 miles of trail that is open at interim trail condition and 2 miles of completed trail through a DCR grant. (Geocaching here as well)
