The Heart Rock is probably one of the easier landmarks to hike to in the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge. Definitely a lot easier to get to than the top of Mount Scott, which is breathtaking in both sight and physically.

Where is the Heart Rock?

The Heart Rock is located near a set of trails in the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge, specifically Dog Run Hollow, which is south of the refuge's Visitor Center with an entrance right off Indiahoma Road. According to the blog Half a Hundred Acre Wood, after seeing the sign for Dog Run Hollow, there's a pull-off area to park your car and you can cross the street to the trail.

When the trail winds out of the evergreen trees, you'll be able to the Heart Rock near the base of a giant sloped rock. Although, it's a few feet tall so it won't look like a heart when standing next to it. You'll have to climb a nearby boulder to get the full view.
