Visit Killens Pond State Park and Water Park
Enjoy a leisurely day on the water at Killens Pond. Canoes, kayaks, rowboats, and pedal boats are available, so you can easily explore this 79-acre pond surrounded by local wildlife or go upstream on the Murderkill River. Just launch your boat, soak up some sun and relax. And the adjacent water park will thrill the kiddos: several slides, pools, and wading pools make this a fun destination for the whole family.
Discover the DuPont Nature Center

With interactive exhibits, aquariums, and more than 130 species of birds, fish, shellfish, and other wildlife in the surrounding estuary habitat, DuPont Nature Center is the perfect place to spend an afternoon discovering Delaware’s natural wildlife.
Cruise Down the Delaware Bayshore Byway
This scenic, 50-mile stretch winds its way through creeks, beaches, ports, and more along Delaware’s shoreline.

A gorgeous tour of the best waterfront scenery in Delaware, the Bayshore Byway is a drive we recommend you take with the windows down!
