Lakes Overlook is a short, easy hike in the Sula Ranger District of Montana's Bitterroot National Forest, managed by the Forest Service. The trail is just 0.1 mile long, with a total elevation gain of 48 feet, so it's a quick stop rather than a full-day outing. The route starts at a low point of about 8,549 feet and rises to a high of about 8,598 feet. It's a natural-surface trail, and the climb is gentle, making it an easy addition to a day spent exploring the surrounding area. Faith Lake and Sula Fish Lake are both within a mile, and Mosquito Meadows is about 3 miles away. For an overnight stay, Martin Creek Campground sits roughly 6 miles off.
