Bear Creek County Park

Bear Creek County Park covers a large natural area featuring walking trails, open fields, forested sections, and a creek that runs through the property providing habitats for wildlife and aquatic species.

The land was historically used by indigenous peoples before Marion County developed it into a recreational park, and the area saw significant wildfire damage in 2020 that altered the landscape.

The park serves as a community gathering place for local events, environmental education programs, organized runs, and family picnics, fostering connections among residents and visitors throughout the year.

The park is open daily from six in the morning until ten at night, with parking facilities, restrooms, picnic tables, and trails accessible by car via North Fork Road from Lyons.

Bear Creek features calm swimming holes and rapids along the river, with transparent water quality and cool summer temperatures that provide refreshing conditions for swimmers and waders during warm months.
