Discover Lums Pond State Park RV rentals for memorable road trips

Lums Pond State Park is a small, 1,720-acre park near the town of Bear, DE. The pond was first created in the 1800s when the St Georges Creek was dammed as part of the project to build the Chesapeake & Delaware Canal. The canal needed several locks and water from the pond was used to fill them, and thus it became a popular recreational area before being declared a state park in 1963.

We recently rented a Sprinter van through the Outdoorsy app and while the booking process was smooth and communication with the host was easy, there were a few issues worth noting.
