Schumaker Pond Location Wicomico County, Maryland, United States Type Pond Primary inflows Beaverdam Creek Basin countriesUnited States Surface area 35 acres (14 hectares) Average depth Up to 5 feet (2 meters) near the dam
Schumaker Pond is a 35-acre pond created by damming Beaverdam Creek , in Wicomico County, Maryland .[1] The pond is owned by the City of Salisbury and is on the eastern end of the Salisbury City Park.[1] [2] The maximum water depth is 5 feet near the dam, in the old creek channel.[1] In the 1950s-60s Schumaker Pond was popular for swimming, but swimming has since been banned due to the large quantities of E-Coli bacteria in the water.[3] Since then, the pond is often used for fishing.[2]
The dam is located on Beaverdam Creek approximately
1.5 miles downstream from Parker Pond within the Wicomico River drainage basin.[4]
Aquatic life [ edit ]
Hydrilla verticillata has been documented in the pond since 1990 and typically reaches 100% coverage.[1] Nine species of fish have been identified in the pond:
Largemouth bass [1]
Bluegill sunfish [1]
Creek chubsucker [1]
Golden shiner [1]
Pumpkinseed sunfish [1]
Chain pickerel [1]
Black crappie [1]
Brown bullhead [1]
American eel [1]
