Unicorn
Lake is located one mile south of the town of Millington in Maryland.
The lake was formed when a dam was constructed for a woolen mill more
than a century ago, but today belongs to the state of Maryland. Unicorn
Lake covers 43 surface-acres has a maximum depth of 8 feet, an average
depth of 4 feet and 2 small islands.
Unicorn Branch tributary supports brown trout and provides cool water
year round. The aquatic vegetation, woody debris from the forested shoreline
and strategically placed discarded Christmas trees provide excellent
fish habitat. A “fish ladder” also allows for the migration
of fish species to 14.5 miles of tributary upstream of the Unicorn Lake.
Unicorn Lake is a great place for Maryland fishing. It is a managed
largemouth bass and bluegill fishery. Anglers may occasionally catch
other fish including, but not limited to, pickerel, catfish, perch,
trout, American eel and creek chub sucker. Unicorn Lake does not have a horsepower limit. The maximum speed limit
is 6 knots, and electric trolling motors are preferred. Sorry, no swimming
or camping allowed.
