At about 11 miles, take the exit onto Route 138 West. Drive about 2.6 miles through Crestline. You will hit the entrance of Camp Seeley. Turn left onto Forest Service Road 2N03 past the camp.

Description
You’re probably thinking, wait, there is a heart formation in the forest? Yes, there is. In the past I’ve seen pictures with the waterfall, but when we went there was absolutely no running water.

We didn’t have a hard time finding the place. It was a nice little walk in the woods and perfect for an afternoon hike if you’re staying at Silverwood Lake or even Lake Arrowhead.
Pros:
1. No permit is required to hike to Heart Rock.
2. It is free to park at the trailhead.
3. Trail is dog friendly.
Cons:
1. Too much graffiti
2. Too much trash (take a trash bag, help clean)
3. No water (go during spring/early summer)
Note to self: Go early to avoid crowds.
