This park is a great place for a pit stop or a full day of activities. The pond is scenic and peaceful, never crowded, but never empty either. You can't swim in the pond, but boating and fishing are allowed. You can also rent kayaks or paddle boats. Outside the pond, there are hiking trails, camping and picnic areas, playgrounds for kids, fields for various sports, and even a disc golf course. Perhaps best of all, there's an adventure park! It does cost extra, but it's awesome and totally worth it if you have time/budget to spare. It has zip lines, a sort of modified bungee jump, tree top obstacle courses... It's just a ton of fun.

I came here for day trip to park and meet friends. Park is has one pound and sounding that there is two mail trail and 5-6 different camp grounds. It's very kid friendly and good for group and party. I completed whole yellow trail around 7-8 miles and it was good nice fresh experience and good weather. Only problem is there is no clear signs or indication for trail and also more information center. Park is clean and restroom also. Nice view point around pound.

I recently got into camping and Lum's Pond was on my list of places to try out. I have been tent camping and one downside of booking at Lums Pond is you don't really know what your site looks like til you get there. I was a T-01 which was shaded but everything is really open. This place is mainly for RV's so you can see all your neighbors. The other thing is if you want to swim, this is not the place. There are boating activities but no beach for you to just splash around. I did really like the 6.5 mile hike around the pond. It was exhausting but really good. Another perk is that there is a large off leash dog area which our pup enjoyed. Dogs can go swimming and I guess people but I don't want to swim where the dogs are. But there is a drone field close by so all day there was constant hum of drones in the background. This place is fine but if you want to really get away and tent camp, there are better places.

Very clean. A wonderful place for a family day. I attended for a wedding and was impressed by the view and cleanliness of the park. I will be back to spend time with my family.

Ok guys the reviews here do not do justice to the place... My husband, my dog and I went here for a night of camping . When we got there saturday morning the staff had all of our information ready and they were very friendly. They had a little shop where they sold basic stuff and fire wood. We paid 25 dollars per night and 4 dollars for 6 large pieces of fire wood. Our site was spacious and clean and quite reserved with trees around us. The bathrooms were clean and the shower was hot. Overall very relaxing place... Very peaceful. It is definitely for families! So if you are looking for a drinking and loud campground, this is not for you! I actually loved that they do not permit alcohol beverages and quite time starts at 10 pm. The park itself s beautiful and clean. The trails are long but not very difficult. They have a dog park where dogs can run off leash and even swim if they want. We also had a great time on the canoe. We paid 8 dollars for 1 hour of canoe. One little thing... I did not see as many trash bins as I wished they had so remember to bring extra bags to carry your trash out.

I've been here to hike along the Swamp Forest Trail and to kayak on the pond. The Swamp Forest Trail gets 4 stars and the kayaking on the pond gets 2 stars. I went on the hike at the end of the summer, so it was a pretty hot day. Fortunately, there are a ton of trees that come in pretty close along the Swamp Forest Trail, so there's a lot of shade; I didn't get very hot. The bad? The trail is really flat and at some points along the Swamp Forest Trail, you have to share the path with bicyclists, ATVers, horses and dogs. Horses + Dogs = Poop. I SUPPOSE I don't expect the horse poop to be picked up, but why not the dogs'? There weren't too many areas with poop. The areas of the trail where I did see poop had wide paths, so the piles were easy to avoid... although I really couldn't avoid the smell. I'm a gagger. Kayaking here pretty much sucked. I had only ever been kayaking on the Pacific Ocean before I went here. I guess I never really thought through going kayaking on a pond in the middle of Delaware. Not only was the water stagnant, but so was the air. It was really hot since there wasn't much of a breeze. I don't know if it's typical not to have any breeze in that area, but the day that I picked wasn't a good one. I don't know if I expected the pond to be just like Kailua beach, but the water was really still (I guess I mean relative to the ocean?), so there were a lot of bugs on the water. Yuck. I think I like to pretend that I'm an outdoorsy person when I'm really not. Can anyone recommend a not-so-flat and not-so-buggy place that I can go hiking?

Nice state park but bring your wallet if you want to take advantage of using the pond-- hourly canoe, kayak, and paddle boat rentals are available but they aren't cheap!! Also, it is $6 per car if you have out of state tags even if you come to visit with in-state residents-- don't bother trying to show their driver's licenses. There are lots of walking paths and picnic areas and shelters. There were lots of people here based on how full the parking lots were but it didn't feel crowded. If you want to try Go Ape, you will need to make reservations well in advance because they fill up quickly so we were not able to do that here (although we have done Go Ape in Williamsburg VA and it is tons of fun so well worth the effort to make the reservations!)
