Covering 200 acres, Lums Pond offers a sandy swimming beach, and boat rentals provide water-bound recreation in the summer months. A boat launching ramp and two piers allow easy access to Lums Pond. Before Lums Pond existed, St. Georges Creek flowed through the hardwood forest and was the site of several Native American hunting camps. Water from Lums Pond was used to fill the locks of the canal and power a small mill. Fishing Lums Pond offers some of the best freshwater fishing in Delaware.
Anglers can chase largemouth bass, bluegill, crappie, catfish, or pickerel.
Striped bass is stocked periodically, offering fisherman yet another challenge. Several youth fishing tournaments are held yearly. For the nature enthusiast and bird watchers, the Lums Pond area offers excellent viewing opportunities. Boating is also a great way to explore the pond's natural wonders. Lums Pond is home to several beaver colonies.
