Pole Creek Tie is a 3-mile out-and-back hike in the Fillmore Ranger District of Fishlake National Forest in southern Utah. The trail rises from about 6,900 feet to a high point of 8,100 feet, giving it a one-way elevation gain of 1,174 feet. The Forest Service manages the land. The route is a natural-surface trail, and bikes are allowed. It works well as a full-day outing, with a moderate climb and several other trails within a few miles to pair it with. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Beaver Canyon put July highs around 80°F with lows near 52°F, while winter brings highs in the upper 30s and several snowy days a month from November through March. Nearby options include the Pahvant - Pole Creek hike less than a mile away and the Pole Creek Spur about 1.5 miles off. Castle Rock - Rec Site offers camping about 4.4 miles away, and Clear Creek, a canoeing spot, is about 3.5 miles away.
