Lake Millwood is mainly recognized for its fishing and birding access. It is also known for housing the 1,380-pound alligator, which was caught in the lake in 2012. Its 35,000 acres (14,000 ha) of submerged timber provide homes for the many varieties of fish in the lake, including the indigenous Millwood lunker largemouth bass. Other species of fauna around the lake include white-tailed deer, bobwhite quail, squirrel, dove, rabbit, raccoon, armadillo, opossum, fox, mink, American gator, and beaver. Boating is also popular on Millwood Lake, but only a small part of the whole surface area of the lake can be used for boating due to the submerged timber that takes up 30,000 acres (12,000 ha) of the pond. Lake Millwood also has a diverse flora life, with many plants and trees such as gum, oak, birch, pine, juniper, flowering shrubs, and wildflowers.
