Killens Pond State Park

A 66-acre pond at the center of the park plus a full-on water park with two speed slides, two spiral slides, a leisure pool, and a tot lot — one of the few combined state park / water park setups on the East Coast. Paddlesport rentals on the pond and the Pondside Loop Trail make it a solid inland-DE day.
