If you’re looking for a real adventure in Delaware, look no further. Lum’s Pond State Park is home to Go Ape!, the only zipline / canopy walk in Delaware – and it is an incredible experience. There are 42 exciting crossings, and each one varies from the previous. You can play on trapeze swings, a flying carpet, two Tarzan swings and 5 zip lines over the pond! You’ll make your way through all of the obstacles by taking it one level at a time for all five levels – ending up high in the canopy overlooking beautiful Lum’s Pond. The last two ziplines are over 650 feet long, so you’ll be swinging for long enough to take in the stunning views.

Check out these pictures and decide if you’re brave enough to give it a try!
