Camping in Lums Pond State Park guide

Overview

About

The largest freshwater pond in Delaware covers 200 acres. It’s a haven for birdwatchers, anglers, and boaters alike. Sadly, there’s no swimming allowed in the pond, but to make up for that little drawback, Lums Pond State Park offers something even more exciting—the Go Ape! Treetop Adventure Course. This awesome attraction features rope ladders, treetop bridges, Tarzan swings, and five zip lines, four of them right over the water. You’ll also find a field or court for just about every sport you can imagine, more than 10 miles of multi-use trails, plus RV, tent, and yurt camping so you never have to leave. Are you in? Lums Pond State Park is rolling out the welcome mat just for you.
