GenieSummary
Killens Pond State Park is a great Delaware state park with a pond and a 2.5-mile nature trail. While campsites are close together, they are well-maintained and shaded by the tall trees. Amenities include a water park and kayaking on the lake. The park also has clean bathhouses with showers, though the button keeps needing to be pressed to keep the shower running. The dump station is a bit tight for larger rigs. Despite these minor setbacks, many visitors referenced the park positively and would stay there again.
From The Campground
Named for its centerpiece, the 66-acre Killens Pond, this state park features a waterpark, various watercraft rentals and the popular Pondside Loop Trail. The Lenape people once lived here, and the pond was created when the Murderkill River was dammed to power grist and sawmills. It is now home to a variety of fish, including bass, crappie and sunfish. The new state-of-the art elevated boardwalk allows pedestrians and bikers a safe passage along Killens Pond Road while benches and bump outs allow for wildlife watching and fishing. Kayakers and boaters can launch from the boat launch at the far end of the walkway. The waterpark features four tall slides, a main pool and baby pool, and a tot lot. The campground provides a reprieve in the woods and Delaware’s State tree, the American Holly, is plentiful. Visitors to the park’s nature center can see live animal exhibits that feature native reptiles and amphibians. The Pileated Woodpecker, Prothonotary Warbler and Barred Owl can often be heard in the woods at the park.
