    Bear Creek passes through southern Hannibal, about a half mile from Sam's boyhood home.  He learned to swim in Bear Creek and as with other boys ignored the ordinance against swimming within the city limits.  He saw two friends drown there and claimed to have nearly drowned there twice, himself.  See chapter 55 of Life on the Mississippi.
