I left a comment about this, too. You haven't had a response yet?

Take CR 227 out of Guntersville.. You'll go up a mountain and down the other side, maybe 5 miles.. You'll continue probably 2 more miles and past the main entrance to the park on your left.. Just keep going til you come to the lake again. You'll see boat ramps on your left and a small grocery store on the right... Maybe 1/4 mile past the grocery store will be a small sign on the right pointing to the trails... From Guntersville to the trails is probably only 15 miles..

I'm so sorry y'all. I didn't get an email about the posts.
Anyway, I'm glad someone gave you the directions. We met and followed someone in that lives over that way, and I don't really know alot about the area. Thanks, Virgil for the help!
