The first 5 miles of river can be accessed via gravel road. There is no road access from that point on, however jet boat transport can be arranged to carry you and your supplies to the upper drifts of the river. Guiding services are available and can be arranged before reaching the Dean. Camping is allowed along the river banks, however there are some resorts located in the lower portion of the Dean. The Dean River is a treasure and is considered one of the best managed rivers in the world.
Special regulations are in place, including fly fishing only sections.
