Engle Peak
About
Engle Peak is a summit in the Cabinet Ranger District of Kootenai National Forest in northwest Montana, about 7 miles from the town of Noxon. It sits among a cluster of lakes and trails, with two lake hikes starting within a couple of miles of the peak. The other covers a flood event that has left some areas inaccessible. Wanless Lake and Engle Lake are both about 1.5 miles away. Buck Lake, a mountain biking destination, and the Swamp Creek Trail are a little farther out. For camping, Lake Creek Campground lies about 6 miles from the peak.
