If the official trailhead to Bear Creek Lake is not accessible, you can park near the fork in the road. You should be able to make it to the fork with a capable SUV. From there follow the trail that climbs steeply (not the creekside trail) from there for a few extra miles. The trail will likely have two large snowfields through midsummer and a couple creek crossings, but the view of the mountains is well worth it.
