Heart Lake
| Size: | 61.6 acres |
| Elevation: | 5760 ft |
| Directions: | Access to Heart Lake can most easily be obtained by taking USFS Road #250 (Trout Creek Road) near Superior, MT. From Road #250, there are two options to hike. One option is to hike USFS Trail #171 to Heart Lake. This route is approximately 2.5 miles and follows the south fork of Trout Creek. It is generally a gentle climb, with a few stretches of switchbacks. The other option is to take Trail #738 (Stateline National Recreation Trail) east-southeast, along the Idaho border, from the top of Hoodoo Pass (via Road #250). This route is longer (~ 3.6 miles) and has a fair amount of uphill and downhill, but it offers great views of the North Fork Clearwater River (Idaho) drainage. |
