The main flow providers are snowmelt and precipitation, which can vary greatly depending on the season. The stream is fed by several tributaries, including Fountain Creek and Camp Creek, and is regulated by the Bear Creek Dam. During the summer months, the flow typically decreases due to lower precipitation and increased water demand. Interestingly, the Bear Creek watershed is home to several endangered species, including the greenback cutthroat trout and the Mexican spotted owl. Despite the challenges of managing such a vital resource, the Bear Creek streamgauge remains an important tool for monitoring and protecting the hydrology of the area.
