Hiking
Heart Lake sits on a spur off the Dipper Lake Trail, which in turn connects in to the Medicine Bow Peak Trail. As long as your vehicle can make the rough approach to the trailhead, this is a great way to enjoy a quieter corner of an otherwise very popular section of Medicine Bow-Routt National Forest.

As long as your vehicle can make the rough approach to the trailhead, this is a great way to enjoy a quieter corner of an otherwise very popular section of Medicine Bow-Routt National Forest. It's also a good workout, with a moderate amount of elevation gain compared to the distance.

Mountain biking
If you set out from the Dipper Lake Trailhead, you'll put in a moderate climb on doubletrack to reach Heart Lake, which sits off a spur of the main trail. This is a quiet section of this trail network, but if you want to keep riding you can merge back into other nearby trails that access other lakes and the area around Medicine Bow Peak.
