RV rental Lums Pond State Park, DE: Motorhome rentals, camper van rentals and more

Although a relatively small park, it has a lot to offer in terms of activities and facilities and makes a great base when you search for a camper in New Castle County. At the park’s center is the pond, but unfortunately, swimming is not allowed. Boating is permitted, and you can rent a variety of craft in the park, including small sailboats, kayaks, and canoes. If fishing is of more interest, then you won’t be disappointed, with carp, bass catfish, and crappie all well stocked in the pond. You do need a fishing permit, but these can be easily booked online. Built into the trees of the park is the Go Ape zip lining course. You have to be over 10 years of age to use it, and it’s about a three-hour adventure through the treetops, giving a completely different view of the park. With four zip-lines over the pond, rope ladders, Tarzan swings and more, it’s an adventure everyone will enjoy. After all the excitement of the zip lining, perhaps a gentle walk around the nature preserve will give you time to calm down? This short loop trail takes you through the woodlands of the park and is suitable for walking, biking, or horse-riding. Of course, hiking features strongly in the activities, and you’ll find three good trails when camping at Lums Pond State Park. The Little Jersey Trail is a complete circuit around the park covering just over eight miles. It passes through the Natural Area, a small section of the pond shore and the off-leash dog area, so is perfect for your four-legged friends. A little shorter is the Swamp Forest Trail, which also completes a complete loop of the park, but stays closer to the shoreline and is just over 6 miles long. The Life Course Trail is aimed at fitness enthusiasts, as it passes 20 different fitness stations along its 0.8-mile length. You can, of course, simply walk the trail and enjoy the scenery!
