The watershed is supplied by snowmelt, rainfall, and groundwater, and the stream receives water from several tributaries. The Bear Creek has several dams along its length, including the Evergreen Dam and the Bear Creek Dam. During the summer months, the flow can be quite low, but during spring runoff or heavy rainfall events, the stream can become dangerous due to flooding. Interestingly, the Bear Creek Watershed is also a popular recreational area, with hiking and biking trails, fishing, and kayaking opportunities.
