Doublespring Peak is an mountain summit located in Custer County, Idaho, United States.

Description

Doublespring Peak ranks as the 41st-highest peak in Idaho and is part of the Lost River Range which is a subset of the Rocky Mountains. The mountain is set on land managed by Salmon–Challis National Forest. Neighbors include Dickey Peak 4.5 miles northwest, Mount Morrison, eight miles south, and line parent Borah Peak, the highest peak in Idaho, is 4.7 miles to the south. Precipitation runoff from the mountain's slopes drains to Willow Creek, Doublespring Creek, and to the Pahsimeroi River. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises above Willow Creek in three miles. This landform is unofficially named in association with nearby Doublespring Pass and Doublespring Creek which are both official toponyms adopted by the United States Board on Geographic Names.
