Present Day
U.S. Route 150 from Vincennes to New Albany, Indiana, follows the path of the Trace. A large section of the original Trace can be seen south of French Lick in Orange County, Indiana, along the Springs Valley Trail System. In 2009 a section of U.S. Route 150 and the Buffalo Trace became part of the Indiana Historic Pathways, a National Scenic Byway, that crosses southern Indiana. In total, driving U.S. Route 150 to coincide with the Buffalo Trace is a distance of 112 miles (180 km).
Parts of the Trace are now protected, including sections in the Hoosier National Forest and a small tract within Buffalo Trace Park, a preserve maintained by Harrison County, Indiana.
