Otter Creek Trail stretches all the way from the Otter Creek Recreation Area to the James River Parking Area on the eastern banks of the river. The path basically runs parallel to Otter Creek and the Blue Ridge Parkway the entire time, but the trail it is entirely surrounded by a dense forest, so you don't even realize how close you are to civilization the entire time. The trail is well-marked and easy to follow. There are some campsites along the trail, but most people decide to trek to and from the lake as a day hike.
