Moose Falls

Moose Falls descends 30 feet over a steep cliff face along Crawfish Creek, creating a continuous cascade of water that flows toward the Lewis River system.

Members of the Arnold Hague Geologic Survey named the waterfall in 1885 due to the numerous moose populations inhabiting the southern sections of the park.

The waterfall represents a significant natural landmark within Yellowstone National Park, attracting visitors who appreciate the intersection of geothermal and hydrological features.

Located 1.2 miles north of the south entrance station, visitors can access the falls through a brief path that extends 75 yards west of the entrance road.

The waters of Moose Falls maintain an elevated temperature throughout the year due to the geothermal activity beneath the surface of Yellowstone National Park.
