Rice Fork Summer Homes is an unincorporated community in Lake County, California. It lies at an elevation of 1906 feet (581 m). As the name suggests, many of the residences function as second homes for their owners.

Rice Fork Summer Homes is located about 25 miles north of Upper Lake, at the bottom of Pine Mountain's northeast ridge, around a mile southeasterly of Scott Dam, on the west shore of the narrow winding steep walled canyon Rice Fork Eel River arm of Lake Pillsbury.

Elk Mountain Road connects the isolated community to the nearest town of Upper Lake.
