Lums Pond State Park, located 20 minutes south of Newark, Delaware, features a 200 acre freshwater pond that is popular for fishing and boating.

In addition to the hiking trail, there is a 10 mile multi-use trail, but note that this trail can be quite boggy in places and at times is impassable by bicycle.  Lums Pond also has a campground next to the lake, and several picnic areas located throughout the park.

With plenty of smooth, fast single track several TTF's and a black diamond section, there is plenty at Middle Run to keep the intermediate level mountain biker entertained. The park has about 10 miles of outstanding mountain biking trails.
