The River's Journey
The Bear River, sometimes called Bear Branch, starts its journey near the mouth of the mighty Columbia River. It begins in a hilly area known as the Bear River Range and the Willapa Hills.
From its source, the river generally flows towards the north and then west. It eventually empties into the southern part of Willapa Bay. This bay is a large, shallow body of water on the Pacific coast.
