From past experience, at least parts of the trail will be muddy and/or wet this time of year. Wear waterproof boots or consider spraying a waterproof material on your boots.
Here's what I've done when hiking the section by Huntsville SP. I've parked my car on a gravel area at the intersection of the southbound I45 feeder and Park Road 40. If you continue west on the Park Rd, of course, you come to the pay station/visitor center for the State Park. From my parked car, I've walked north on the grassy embankment next to the southbound feeder. After a quarter to half mile, you'll see the LST marker on the tree next to the trail that heads west into the forest. It's been awhile since I've hiked this section, so there may even be a trailhead sign there now. The LST Club does a good job of maintaining the trail. Hope this helps. Ya'll enjoy your hike. Hope to catch up with you next time.
Brett, I'm just curious--what brand of trail shoe do you prefer. I've been thinking of going to something lighter since I've never had any ankle problems. Now, these old knees--that's another story.
