Naturalist's Notes
by Matt Ritter, Killens Pond Park Manager
Winter Wonderland at Killens
Read Matt's bio.
The winter months are a great time to travel to the park and enjoy the tranquility it has to offer. The trails are relatively untraveled and the wildlife is busy gathering food. On any given weekend, a hiker could come across squirrels gathering nuts, bald eagles hunting on the pond, beavers swimming near the bridge, or even deer taking a stroll through the meadows. After a fresh snow, come out and travel the Pondside Trail and enjoy the sound of snow falling from branches, the sight of a pure white blanket on the forest floor, and the smell of nature. Visit the park this winter and discover the true winter wonderland.
