Sucker Creek is a moderate out-and-back hike of about 4.2 miles on natural-surface trail in the Powers Ranger District of the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forests in southwest Oregon. The trail is managed by the Forest Service and starts at the Sucker Creek East - Powers Trailhead. The trip climbs from around 1,059 feet to a high point of about 2,266 feet, with a total elevation gain of roughly 2,941 feet over the round trip. The climb is most severe in the first part of the hike, where the steepest stretch reaches about 43% grade at roughly 0.8 miles from the trailhead. That makes the route a challenge in its own right, and the trail is not accessible. Bikes are not allowed on this route. For timing, plan on about three hours for the round trip. Johnson Creek lies just 0.3 miles away, and Daphne Grove and Barklow Mountain are within a few miles. Rock Creek campground is about 3.7 miles off.
