Bear River, a stream of Utah, U.S., which rises in the Rocky Mountains to the E. of Salt Lake, flows NW. into Idaho, then bends round and again returns into Utah, falling into Great Salt Lake. The Bear and Steamboat springs on its banks, in Idaho, are impregnated with magnesia and other minerals. Coal is found at the crossing of the Central Pacific Railroad.
