Lums Pond State Park is built around the largest freshwater pond in Delaware. The park features excellent fishing, sports facilities, hiking trails and more on its 1790 acres on the north side of the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal. Lums Pond itself covers 200 acres, and although there is no swimming allowed, boat rentals and fishing provide water-bound recreation in the summer months. A boat launching ramp and two piers allow easy access to the water.For Lums Pond State Park and beyond, use our Bear trip itinerary maker website to get the most from your Bear vacation.
Before the pond existed, St. Georges Creek flowed through the hardwood forest and was the site of several Native American hunting camps. The creek was dammed in the early 1800's when the C & D canal was built. Water from the pond was used to fill the locks of the canal and power a small mill. This area was first used as a state park in 1963.

Reserved a pavilion for my daughters 1st birthday area 3 it was very clean, huge space, and protected us from the unexpected rain that came. Would definitely reserve the space again. Online gives you all the details, pricing, and amenities that the various pavilions have to offer.

This place is huge. There different parts/trails in the park which can be visited. Lot of benches to sit. You would see lot of people around and you wouldn’t feel isolated. So felt really good. Really nice view of the lake with the reflection of sky and trees. You would see people fishing cycling. We took our cat there she loved it too. The weather was good. Really wanted to wait till the sunset but couldn’t. Hopefully would be able to click pictures of the sunset next time.
