No parking or use fees. Well maintained trail the is partially paved and partially fine gravel. The bridges across the rivers are well maintained. The paved section between La Crosse to Brodnax does cross several quiet streets, so this section includes a number of stop signs. Very fine gravel. Being a former railway, all climbs are gentle slopes, but some are sustained. The trail has excellent drainage, but the fine gravel becomes sticky after heavy rains, so ideal conditions when the trail is relatively dry.

Rail to trail with gentle slopes. The paved section is a bit uneven due to tree roots, so portions are slightly uneven.

The Tobacco Heritage Trail is suitable for bikes, horses and hikers. The Eastern portion of the trail is fine gravel and mostly traverses woods. The Western portion is paved and winds through farms and towns. A classic rail to trail with gently rolling hills. It cross several rivers with modern and well maintained wooden bridges.
