About this map

Ousel Falls Recreation Site serves as the focal point for this high-elevation mountain terrain where the Gallatin River and its South Fork West Fork Gallatin River converge. The landscape is characterized by its heavy timber and significant elevation changes, split between the Gallatin National Forest and the Beaverhead National Forest Lee Metcalf Wilderness.

Resource management and recreational access are primary themes, evidenced by the Gallatin State Wildlife Management Area in the northeast and a network of pack trails navigating the drainages of Mule Creek and Yellow Mule Creek. Farthest south, Cinnamon Mountain rises near a designated Lookout Tower, while the remote Lizard Lakes sit deep within the wilderness boundary on the Madison and Gallatin County line.
