No site in New York's access file falls on Dead Creek, so the way in is public ground and road crossings rather than a marked landing. 4 blocks of public land front Dead Creek, and 8.8 of its 17.7 mapped miles run through them.

Ownership from PAD-US as the state publishes it. Where a block has its own page, the name
links to it. The river miles are how far this river's drawn axis runs inside each block, measured here;
the acreage is the whole unit's, most of which is nowhere near this water.
