This park has a lot of nice features, ranging from hiking trails, event pavilions, camp grounds, boating and a water park. The trails are very long if you follow them around. We hiked the Yellow trail which wrnt around the entire pond. Highly recommended to get a map of the trails and park from the guard booth. You will need it if you want to hike deep into the trails.

I love it here. Pretty centrally located and something for everyone. They have a water park, recreation park and covered bench area for get togethers and bbqs, disc golfing course, lakes for fishing and boating, plenty of trails and rv parks and campgrounds. They even have some cabins. There's a big metal walkway you can walk on or use to fish. This places has about three or four entrances so there's a bit of a learning curve but if you call and ask I'm sure they can help you find the right one for you. Please donate/pay when you enter unless you have a park pass which you can buy at the park center which is opened 8am-4pm. Cost to enter is 4$ but you won't have to pay during off season or if you leave and go to another entrance for another trail or something. They offer boat rentals that are decently priced. You need an adult with a driver's license to rent and you don't need cash you can pay with a card. They also provide life jackets of different sizes.

Absolutely love this park! We took the camper here for the first time. The campground is clean and quiet, with quick access to the playground area and nature trail. We always come over for Fourth of July weekend. Our boys love the water park and looking for animals. Definitely worthy of a visit if you want to get outside and don't feel like bothering with beach traffic.

I photographed first day hikes Killens pond for the Delaware State News on January 1, 2022. Met One of the coolest chicks I’ve ever met in Delaware there and her photo ran on the front page of the Delaware State news the next day. We walked through the woods together and it is very beautiful there, super tall trees with lush greens and orange and yellows. Even with there being an event there you could hardly tell because there are so many hiking trails that you easily found yourself alone in the woods for a calm collective moment to journal or take images ❤️ All photos ©carla varisco;2022
