of Parks & Recreation began protecting lands along the Murderkill River.
To date over 2,028 acres and 3 miles of river corridor have been protected
at Killens Pond State Park and the Murderkill River Nature Preserve stretching
from Route 13 to Frederica. A one-half mile pathway was constructed from
the park entrance on RD 384 to the Route 13 intersection. The pathway
is part of State Bicycle Route 1 and links Lake Forest High School and
Killens Pond State Park. A 3.5 mile canoe trail was established from Route
13 to the Coursey Pond spillway.
