There's nothing to narrate here: just take a beautiful day, find Alabama Highway 175 on a map and you can't miss the Perry Lakes turnoff -- there's a fishery on the corner. The dirt road will take you directlky into the park. When you can't drive any further, get out and walk. This is a largely undiscovered treasure at this point, particularly since the improvements are recent (park itself reopened, bathrooms and pavillion constructed).
