Lums Pond

Lums Pond is Delaware's biggest freshwater pond by far! The Lums Pond State Park encircles the 81-ha pond. The entire year, Lums Pond State Park is open to the public and offers a wide range of recreational opportunities.

Lumps Pond State Park is really constructed around the biggest freshwater pond in the entire state. Although swimming is not permitted, you can take a boat out on the water, which you can rent whenever you like during the summer. The pond itself is a massive 200 acres!

The park has amazing hiking routes for people who want to just get lost in nature, as well as superb fishing (and some wonderful opportunities for parent-child connection!). For the kids who truly want to play outside, there are also sports facilities and a playground.

While hiking is available all year long, cross-country skiing and snowmobiling are only available in the winter. Tennis, basketball, and volleyball facilities, as well as a few sports grounds, are also located in the park. Rowing, sailing, kayaking, canoeing, and fishing are available throughout the warmer months, but swimming is prohibited.
