Report: These springs were described in Waring (1965) in "Thermal springs and wells in the United States". They are found in Quaternary lava overlying Precambrian rocks. The area was visited in 1999 during a study of the Yellowstone controlled groundwater area. Springs issue from the banks of Bear Creek near its mouth and travertine deposits are found along Bear Creek also. The springs were not sampled but the water was sampled at the mouth of Bear Creek. It is not known if these springs along Bear Creek Springs are those referred to in Waring.
