Bear Den Creek is a stream in Stone County in the Ozarks of southwest Missouri.[1] It is alternately referred to as Bearden Hollow.[2]
The stream source area is just south of Missouri Route 76 and west of Missouri Route Y. The stream flows southwest to west-southwest to enter the James River arm of Table Rock Lake east of Cape Fair. Peach Orchard Creek runs parallel to Bear Den just to the north.[2]
Bear Den Creek was named after a cave along its course where bears made their dens.[3]
