East Fork Peak is a hard hike in the Sandpoint Ranger District of the Idaho Panhandle National Forests, managed by the Forest Service. The route is an out-and-back that climbs from about 2,900 feet to 5,878 feet, a gain of nearly 3,000 feet over a distance of about 7.6 miles. The trail is natural-surface and not accessible, and bikes are allowed. The most comfortable stretch for a visit is summer, when the open season runs from June 1 to September 30. That window is based on the Forest Service's trail season, and typical averages from a nearby weather station show July and August highs in the low to mid 70s with lows in the 40s. Several other hikes start close by, including Char Creek and East Fork Creek, each about 0.7 miles away, and Thunder Creek at about 1.9 miles. For an overnight base, Spar Lake Campground is about 6.3 miles away.
