There is a very rough access point to Bear Creek about a 3 minute walk upstream from the Rotary bridge in US Cellular Comm. Park. The creekside entry point is marked on the left by an orange staked flag in the gravel alongside the Greenway path. On the right are a fence and greenhouse facilities and a bunch of plastic nursery pots. Recommend good walking shoes or better. Site can accomodate about 5-6 people as the bank is a little steep. Big cottonwood across the creek on the right and gravel bar across the creek on the left.
Around 30 fish spawning upstream of Rotary bridge at US Cellular Community Park. Difficult to access location by land due to brush/blackberries.

Several fish exhibiting spawning activity. Several fish passing upstream. Really easy to see fish surfacing in the shallow water.
