These women had to be rescued after their giant unicorn pool float got stranded on a lake

Unicorn pool floats: they’re all Instagram-worthy fun and games until they get you stranded in the middle of a lake.

Driving past Fish Lake in Minnesota, two deputies from the Chisago County Sheriff's Office were greeted by the sight of a group of women floating around in a giant inflatable unicorn. 

Amused by the ridiculous spectacle, the pair, who were in the middle of a park check, stopped to ask if they could take a photo. 

This turned out to be a rather fortuitous decision, as the mystical creature and its inhabitants were, in fact, stuck in the weeds, necessitating a rope rescue.
