Small Lake Fishing
Unicoi Lake
This impoundment supports a fair bass bluegill fishery. Catfish are periodically stocked into the lake. Smith Creek, upstream from the lake, is stocked heavily with catchable trout from April through August and a few trout are caught in the lake as a result. There are two swimming beaches, a campground, and canoes for rent.
