Bear River (Mokelumne River tributary)

The Bear River is a tributary of the Mokelumne River in the Sierra Nevada foothills of California, United States. It flows generally west, joining the Mokelumne River upstream of Pardee Reservoir. The river's watershed drains a portion of Amador and Calaveras counties.

The Bear River is a relatively small stream, often experiencing significant seasonal variations in flow. Its waters are primarily used for agricultural purposes and contribute to the larger water resources management of the Mokelumne River watershed. The river and its surrounding area offer recreational opportunities, including hiking and fishing, though access may be limited due to private land ownership.
