This section of the Appalachian Trail weaves up and down the landscape of the South Mountain State Park. It's a challenging trail run with plenty of inclines and declines throughout, and travels through beautiful forestry. The path can get rocky underfoot and tends to collect ice in the winter, so it would be best done in the summer months.

Located at 1,535 feet in the Washington Monument State Park, Monument Knob is a peak with great views of the surrounding landscape. The mountain is situated along the Appalachian National Scenic Trail, so make sure to visit while hiking along the popular trail.

The recreational fulcrum of Greenbrier State Park is beautiful Greenbrier Lake. This is a 42-acre man-made lake with glorious white sandy beaches and abundant swimming areas that gradually reach out to the lake to a depth of no more than six feet. Fishing for trout, bass, or bluegill is permitted on the lake with a state-issued license required for those 16 years or older.

Greenbrier State Park is nestled in the picturesque Catoctin Mountains of Maryland. It offers a pristine lake, lush forests, and scenic hiking/running trails, and a range of outdoor activities from swimming and fishing to picnicking and camping.

The beginning and end section of this segment of the Appalachian Trail between Gathland Picnic Shelter and White Rocks gains a fair bit of elevation at the start and end, but the middle is fairly flat. It's a lovely, challenging run for those familiar with trail running. The ground can become rocky underfoot and tends to collect ice in the winter, so best completed in the warmer months.
