Sheep Creek is a moderate, out-and-back hike of about 3.2 miles in the Richfield Ranger District of Fishlake National Forest in Utah. The trail climbs roughly 1,100 feet from its low point of about 8,400 feet to a high of about 9,530 feet, so plan for an outing that rises steadily, with the most serious climbing in the middle. Bikes are allowed on this natural-surface trail, which makes it a good option for both hikers and riders. The Forest Service manages the surrounding land, and the trail is open year-round. The trip makes an easy addition to a day in the Gooseberry area. Gooseberry Equestrian, a mountain biking spot, sits just 0.2 miles away, and Abes Reservoir is about 0.9 miles off. For an overnight stay, Gooseberry Admin Site Cabins is about a mile away, and Harves River Cua Dispersed is roughly 2.4 miles away.
