Lums Pond State Park
Lums Pond State Park is a 1790-acre (7.24 km²) Delaware state park near Bear, New Castle County, Delaware in the United States. The park surrounds Lums Pond, an impoundment built by the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal on St. Georges Creek. The C&D built the pond as a source of water to fill the locks of the canal that connected the Chesapeake Bay with the Delaware River during the early 19th century. Lums Pond State Park is open for a wide variety of year-round recreation.
==History==
Lums Pond, the largest freshwater pond in Delaware, covering 200 acres (0.81 km²) in central New Castle County, was built in the early 19th century as an impoundment for the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Dive Into Fun )〕 The pond supplied water to fill the locks of the canal and water power for a local gristmill. The pond became a natural recreational draw for the residents of Delaware. Ownership was transferred to the state of Delaware in the mid-20th century. Lums Pond State Park was opened to the public in 1963.〔
The Lum's Mill House was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.
