The Bear River forms the southern most
border of Nevada County.
At the crossing of Bear River and Hwy
174 is a historic bridge, and there is also a great trail
for hiking there. It is a relatively easy,
approximately two mile hike downstream.
There are several smaller trails branching
off to the river for swimming, fishing,
or just relaxing. There is plenty of free
parking.
