Killens Pond State Park in Delaware encompasses a scenic 66-acre millpond that was originally established in the mid-to-late 1700s when the Murderkill River was dammed to power grist and sawmills. Located in Kent County near Felton, the pond sits within a 1,488-acre park that serves as the second largest forest tract in the vital St. Jones River watershed. The historic millpond, once critical fishing and hunting habitat for local Native Americans who thrived along the banks of the Murderkill River, now provides excellent freshwater fishing opportunities in a picturesque wooded setting just 15 miles south of Dover.
