The Dead River Public Land parcel surrounds the Dead River Township on the northern shore of Flagstaff Lake in Somerset County. The beautiful tract of wilderness is home to a favorite camping spot below Long Falls Dam called The Big Eddy and offers activities such as fishing, pleasure boating, kayaking and canoeing, and bird-watching.

There are several hiking and mountain biking trails around the shoreline of the lake, as well as equestrian and cross-country skiing trails, and the lands are part of the Northern Forest Canoe Trail. Other activities in the area include ATV riding, canoeing, off-road biking, snowmobiling, snowshoeing, and wildlife watching.
