Overview
Killens Pond State Park offers lakeside cabins and quiet wooded campsites just south of Dover. The park centers around a 66-acre pond, with trails that circle the water, boat rentals, a nature center, and a family-friendly waterpark nearby. It’s a peaceful escape for travelers who want a little bit of everything — woods, water, and plenty of room to roam.

Why It’s Worth a Stop
The cabins sit close to the lake, giving you a front-row seat to sunrise paddling and evening walks. Families love the easy access to the waterpark, while hikers and birdwatchers come for the trails and wildlife.
