3-Mile Creek Tie is a short, easy out-and-back hike in the Klamath Ranger District of Oregon's Fremont-Winema National Forest, managed by the Forest Service. The trail starts at about 4,200 feet and climbs to a high point of 4,529 feet, with a total gain of 452 feet over a 1.2-mile round trip. The steepest stretch comes early, with a 14% grade at about 0.09 miles in. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Chiloquin show July highs around 85°F with lows near 42°F and only about three wet days, while winter brings highs near 39°F and regular snow days from December through February. The hike takes about half an hour, so it works well as a quick outing. Threemile Loop and Liars Loop are both about 2 miles away, and Middle Three Mile Loop is roughly 3.4 miles off. For an overnight stay, Jackson F Kimball Campground is about 8.3 miles away.
