The Dead River connects Lake Eustis and Lake Harris. The only roadway to cross the river is U.S. Highway 441/ SR 44 near the river's northern mouth toward Lake Eustis.

The Dead River
''The Dead River'' (originally in Albanian ''"Lumi i Vdekur"'') is the title of the first novel written by the 20th century Albanian writer Jakov Xoxa. One of the best-known of Jakov Xoxa's, the literary work was written in 1964 only to be published 7 years later. Plot The story revolves around the romantic love between the two main characters, Vita and Adil, and the ill fates of three Albanian families which all meet in a little town called ''Trokth'' in Albania. The seemingly independent stories that revolve around the three families are well interwoven with the fates of the two lovers. Setting Like the other novels of Jakov Xoxa (notably ''"White Juga"'' , sq, Juga e Bardhē, ), it encompasses a vast number of characters and is also imbued with the realism of pre-World War II Albania, in which the main story is set. It is one of the few works of early socialist realism in Albania which contains literary merits. As many works of that period, it used the Soviet literary model o ...

River Mole
The River Mole is a tributary of the River Thames in southern England. It rises in West Sussex near Gatwick Airport and flows northwest through Surrey for to the Thames at Hampton Court Palace. The river gives its name to the Surrey district of Mole Valley. The Mole crosses the North Downs between Dorking and Leatherhead, where it cuts a steep-sided valley, known as the Mole Gap, through the chalk. Much of the catchment area lies on impermeable rock (including Weald Clay and London Clay), meaning that the river level responds rapidly to heavy rainfall. During the second half of the 20th century pollution levels in the river were high; however, since 1995 the water quality has improved dramatically and the Mole now boasts the greatest diversity of fish species of any river in England. Twelve Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs) that include wetland habitats are located within the Mole catchment area, and the stretch of river through Leatherhead has been designated a ...
