Beautiful Woodland Trails
My husband travels to Delaware on business and I like to travel with him. We stay in a dog friendly hotel. My dog Louie and I have discovered the beautiful wooded trails of Killens Pond. You can walk and walk for hours without ever coming upon another person and if you do meet someone they will give you a friendly smile and hello and go on as they too are enchanted by the woodland beauty.

| Swimming: |
| The new Killens Pond Water Park is not just a pool?it's an entirely new water experience! Gently sloping from ground level, the innovatively designed main pool's zero-depth entrance makes getting in and out easy. It also features three lap lanes along with exciting interactive water features such as the Floating Lily Pad Fun Walk. For maximum water excitement, two 27-foot high, 205-foot long twisting and turning water slides end in a specially designed splash pool. At the tot pool and tot lot, bubblers, ground water jets, small slides, and a pool-side waterplay system give smaller visitors lots of fun ways to enjoy a warm summer's day. After working up an appetite, hungry swimmers can enjoy a variety of menu items at the new food concession. The Swim Shop is the place for all your sunning and swimming needs. |
| History of the Area: |
| The millpond was established in the late 1700's. Prior to the pond's creation, the Murderkill River and surrounding hardwood forest were sites of several Native American homes and hunting camps. According to legend, the river's unusual name refers to a local tribe's massacre of a Dutch trading party at the mouth of the river in 1648. Now a peaceful oasis, Killens Pond became a state park in 1965. |
