Dead Creek State Route 3 pull-off and picnic-area access
Current regional paddling guidance identifies the Route 3 pull-off and picnic area, a roughly 20-yard carry, and the narrow creek entry; the DEC UMP also identifies the DOT parking/pull-off context. Confirm the current parking, path, waterline, roadside safety, seasonal conditions, and any posted restrictions before unloading.

Dead Creek headwaters marsh turnaround objective
Water-only headwaters objective placed on the mapped Dead Creek channel near the upper end of the documented three-mile marsh paddle. This is not a public landing, parking area, or vehicle take-out; turn around earlier for shallow water, beaver dams, vegetation, debris, daylight, or return-margin concerns.
