The Lake Fork Trail #82 skirts the western shoreline of Cabresto Lake before following Lake Fork Creek for the remainder of the 5 miles in the Latir Peak Wilderness. A mid-way point is the junction of Lake Fork (Trail 82) and Bull Creek (Trail 85).

Cross the bridge and continue north along Lake Fork Creek as it passes through mixed conifers, aspen groves and small meadows to the next trail junction (Heart Lake and Baldy Mountain). Take the path to the right and continue north. If visitors take the trail to the left they will be on the Heart Lake Trail 115. Heart Lake is a short distance from the junction.

Camping is permitted 300 feet away from the lake's edge. It is worthwhile to hike up the mile of switchbacks west of Heart lake to reach a series of beautiful alpine mesas and the Latir Peaks.

Water is available for most of the trail but should be properly treated before consumption. For short trips, take a supply of water from home or other domestic source.

Day hiking, backpacking, pack and saddle as well as back country camping is permitted along the entire length of the trail. If you Pack-It-In Pack-It-Out.

This is a moderately difficult 5.2-mile trail. Elevation ranges from 9,200 to 11,520 feet.
