East Lake Fork Trail is a 2.1-mile out-and-back hike in the Price Ranger District of Manti-La Sal National Forest in Utah, managed by the Forest Service. The trail rises from about 6,946 feet to about 7,218 feet, with a total elevation gain of 259 feet. It is rated hard, and the route is natural-surfaced, so expect a rougher path than a developed trail. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from the nearby Scofield Dam weather station show July and August highs around 78°F with lows near 45°F, while winter highs stay below freezing. Bikes are allowed on the trail. For more time on foot, Dipping Pin Trail is about 2.3 miles away and Jones Ridge Trail about 2.9 miles. Rock Spring and Dry Creek Trail South are both roughly 3.7 miles off.
