This stretch of Bear Creek is private property. Says Land Owner

The nature scenery of Williamson County and the water flowing gracefully down Bear Creek will make you feel great. If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside Texas you might find the rivers here a bit more manageable, so you'd better keep in mind that rivers here are less demanding. The Cty Road 274 to North Fork San Gabriel River stretch of Bear Creek in Texas is 6 miles long and is a class II-III section of whitewater according to American Whitewater. Not too many hotels
    nearby, you'll have to drive a bit to get to one, but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. There are no other sections to paddle along Bear Creek than the Cty Road 274 to North Fork San Gabriel River section. This stretch is mid length, it's good
length for a morning trip. Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way there are lots of good rivers for that around here. If you're a camper you can camp at one of the great campgrounds nearby.
