Previously, the High Bridge Trail ended at Heights School Road approximately one mile from the town. In a partnership with The Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation, Appomattox and Prince Edward Counties the Town has been able to have trail extended into the corporate limits and end within walking distance of the Main Street business district. This project has been vital to the economic redevelopment and revitalization efforts of the town. The Pamplin trail extension was opened April 22, 2024.<ref>{{Cite web |title=High Bridge Trail State Park completes extension into Pamplin |url=https://www.dcr.virginia.gov/state-parks/blog/high-bridge-trail-state-park-completes-extension-into-pamplin |access-date=2024-12-28 |website=www.dcr.virginia.gov |language=en}}</ref>
