Hiking
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.
