Nannie Creek Trail is a 1.8-mile moderate hike in the Sky Lakes Wilderness, part of the Klamath Ranger District of the Fremont-Winema National Forest in southern Oregon. The Forest Service manages the land, and the trail is an out-and-back that climbs about 420 feet one way, with the full round trip totaling roughly 1,090 feet of elevation gain. The trail starts at about 6,160 feet and reaches a high point of about 6,470 feet. The steepest stretch comes at about 0.9 miles in, where the grade reaches 24 percent. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at a similar elevation show July and August highs around 69°F with only about four wet days a month, while winter months bring highs in the low 30s and rain on most days. Donna Lake is about a mile away, and Divide is about 1.5 miles off. Sky Lakes Cutoff and Cliff Lake are both within about 2.5 miles. For an overnight base, Lower South Fork Campground sits about 7 miles away.
