The Otter Lick Loop departs to the east, eventually looping south via the Lush Forest Trail toward Woodpecker Road. The Bright Hope Loop goes west from this junction along Roper Forest Trail.

This trail isn't necessarily big on scenery, but it makes for a great forest run on old fire roads. If you want to extend your run and don't mind a small creek crossing, you can add on the Otter Lick Loop Trail, which is near the east end of this trail segment.

This is a pedestrian-only trail, so you won't have to worry about running into bikers or horseback riders — just hikers. You can also look forward to some nice views of Swift Creek Lake through the trees.

Trail completely immersed in the forest. The only noises are those made by your footsteps: peacefulness!

This is another stretch of the Fendley Station Trail, most notable because it offers a broad, gravel track. You may find yourself sharing this stretch of trail with cyclists, but there's plenty of room.

There is a wet (no bridge) stream crossing at the far end of Swift Creek Lake, but this end of the lake has a bridge. This is a great spot to watch for birds and other wildlife.

The Fendley Station Trail runs for miles through this state park, offering a great running experience on a mix of dirt and gravel. You'll need to either retrace your steps or link up with other trails to run a loop. Keep an eye out for the occasional "wet" (unbridged) stream crossing; there's one downstream from the dam outflow for Swift Creek Lake.

Beaver Lake is just south and west of you here. If you follow the obvious trail to the lakeshore you'll find some small docks for fishing, or you can stay on the loop trail that runs (pun intended) all the way around the lake.
