Lums Pond State Park is home to the largest freshwater pond in Delaware.

It is a popular destination for kayakers, boaters and anyone else looking to get out on the water.

The views from the middle of the pond are unbelievable!

But for the best way to see Lums Pond, you have to look up.

Go Ape Lums Pond is the only adventure of its type in Delaware!

You will cross through the trees 42 times, on trapeze swings, a flying carpet, and two tarzan swings! As you go through the course, you'll get higher and higher into the trees.

The real thrill is crossing over the water on the 5 zip lines that bring you out of the trees. The views from each one are incredible.
