Roy B Whitaker Preserve is located less than 30 minutes east of downtown Huntsville right off of Highway 72.
When I googled it, it took me fairly close, but I believe this link will get you exactly there.
Parking Lot/Trailhead
There is enough parking for over a dozen cars and the trailhead is well-marked. This is one of the most picturesque places with a rustic barn, open fields, and old fencing.
Trails
There’s plenty to discover along the trails. The trails toward the entrance are well-maintained and well-marked. The trails toward the back of the property (specifically Cole Springs) were overgrown and hard to follow.
