The river flows through remote wilderness and is known for its challenging whitewater rapids, making it a popular destination for rafting and kayaking. Several large dams on tributaries to the Dead River can impact its flow, particularly during the summer months when hydroelectric production is highest. Seasonal trends show higher flows during the spring snowmelt and lower flows during the summer and fall months. Interestingly, the Dead River gets its name not from a lack of flow, but from an incident in the 19th century where a group of loggers drowned while attempting to navigate the rapids.
