If you want to see one of the best views of fall foliage in Delaware, go to Killens Pond. 

Killens Pond State Park has a lot of fun outdoor activities that are amazing for the whole family. Here, you can enjoy nature and the crisp fall air in its pure beauty.

This state park has something for everyone. There are trails for walking and biking, several ball fields and courts for the athlete in you, and many things to do on the water. You can rent canoes or kayaks and paddle up the Murderkill River or around the 66-acre mill pond. 

You can also explore the nearby Fork Branch Nature Preserve in Dover to see the red-shouldered hawk and the scarlet tanager, among other migratory and resident birds. Then, spend the rest of your afternoon fishing along the pond, which is home to largemouth bass, pickerel, catfish, carp, and other fish.

You can camp at Blackbird State Forest and sleep under the stars.

It's always nice to drive through the beautiful Amish countryside. But in the fall, when the leaves are changing and the sun is shining golden, the rolling hills and stretches of farmland in Kent County are straight-up gorgeous. 

The Amish community in Delaware is just west of Dover, and there are many ways to tour and see the area. There are many Amish country stores where you can buy fresh baked goods, fresh fruits and vegetables, handcrafted furniture, and more.
