Bear Paw Falls is located near the Bear Creek Trail in the lesser visited eastern section of Cloudland Canyon. Located on a small unnamed stream, the waterfall tumbles 30 feet directly into Bear Creek and is best seen after heavy rain. Bear Paw Falls is accessed by a short side path from where the Bear Creek Backcountry Trail reaches the bottom of the Bear Creek gorge. This moderate waterfall hike is a great option for visitors seeking to avoid the crowds centered around Daniel Creek and the Waterfalls Trail.
