| Odessa Lake lies at the base of Little Matterhorn Peak. It is accessible from the Fern Lake Trailhead or from Bear Lake. Reintroduced outside the park's west side, moose are now often seen near east-side lakes. The moose is the largest member of the deer family. Males have very large, fan-like antlers and can stand six-and-a-half feet tall at the shoulder.
