Killens Pond State Park
The centerpiece of Killens Pond State Park, conveniently located in central Delaware, is the 66-acre millpond, which was established in the late 1700s. Before the pond was created, the Murderkill River and surrounding hardwood forest were sites of several Native American homes and hunting camps. Killens Pond became a state park in 1965.Activities:BaseballBikingBirdingBoatingCampingCanoeingNature ProgramsDisc GolfFishingGeocachingHikingHorseshoesMeetings/Small ConferencesPicnickingReunions/PartiesSwimming*VolleyballYouth Group Camping*Waterpark onlyAmenities:Baseball FieldsBoat RampBoat RentalsCabinsCamp StoreCampgroundsCanoe LaunchCanoe TrailConference CenterDay Use AreasDay Use Group FacilitiesDisc Golf CourseDrinking WaterDumping StationFirewood SalesFood ConcessionsHorseshoe PitsNature CenterPavilionsPicnic TablesPlayground*RefreshmentsRestroomsShowers/Bath House*Sports Equipment RentalStoreTrailsVolleyball CourtsWater Park***For campers only**Summer onlyFishing and BoatingThe pond is home to largemouth bass, catfish, carp, perch, crappie, bluegills, and pickerel, all of which await the patient angler.* A convenient boat launching ramp is available, and canoes, kayaks, and pedal boats can be rented during the summer.

Before the pond was created, the Murderkill River and surrounding hardwood forest were sites of several Native American homes and hunting camps. Killens Pond became a state park in 1965.Activities:BaseballBikingBirdingBoatingCampingCanoeingNature ProgramsDisc GolfFishingGeocachingHikingHorseshoesMeetings/Small ConferencesPicnickingReunions/PartiesSwimming*VolleyballYouth Group Camping*Waterpark onlyAmenities:Baseball FieldsBoat RampBoat RentalsCabinsCamp StoreCampgroundsCanoe LaunchCanoe TrailConference CenterDay Use AreasDay Use Group FacilitiesDisc Golf CourseDrinking WaterDumping StationFirewood SalesFood ConcessionsHorseshoe PitsNature CenterPavilionsPicnic TablesPlayground*RefreshmentsRestroomsShowers/Bath House*Sports Equipment RentalStoreTrailsVolleyball CourtsWater Park***For campers only**Summer onlyFishing and BoatingThe pond is home to largemouth bass, catfish, carp, perch, crappie, bluegills, and pickerel, all of which await the patient angler.* A convenient boat launching ramp is available, and canoes, kayaks, and pedal boats can be rented during the summer.

Before the pond was created, the Murderkill River and surrounding hardwood forest were sites of several Native American homes and hunting camps. Killens Pond became a state park in 1965.Activities:BaseballBikingBirdingBoatingCampingCanoeingNature ProgramsDisc GolfFishingGeocachingHikingHorseshoesMeetings/Small ConferencesPicnickingReunions/PartiesSwimming*VolleyballYouth Group Camping*Waterpark onlyAmenities:Baseball FieldsBoat RampBoat RentalsCabinsCamp StoreCampgroundsCanoe LaunchCanoe TrailConference CenterDay Use AreasDay Use Group FacilitiesDisc Golf CourseDrinking WaterDumping StationFirewood SalesFood ConcessionsHorseshoe PitsNature CenterPavilionsPicnic TablesPlayground*RefreshmentsRestroomsShowers/Bath House*Sports Equipment RentalStoreTrailsVolleyball CourtsWater Park***For campers only**Summer onlyFishing and BoatingThe pond is home to largemouth bass, catfish, carp, perch, crappie, bluegills, and pickerel, all of which await the patient angler.* A convenient boat launching ramp is available, and canoes, kayaks, and pedal boats can be rented during the summer.
