...to the next. The trees extend out over the water from the shore in many areas, so you need to practice skipping, and pitching, as well as flipping, if you want to work this lake properly. Work these lures all the way to the next cove on your right, then move up the lake about 200 yards, and start over again. These areas all hold large bass in the 4-8 pound category, and could come anywhere along this shore. Bass in excess of 9 pounds were caught at Noxontown in the past, which is why it received so much pressure. Very large bass still reside here, but the numbers have declined over the years. In 1999, I caught and released a 10. 1 pound largemouth from Noxontown, that was just ounces off the state record. The primary forage is panfish, white perch, and shad, but there are a good number of Golden Shiner also. This lake also produced the state record White Crappie, over 4 1/2 pounds, which can be viewed at the Tackle Box store, on the main highway, just south of the 13 and 40 split, by the Dairy Queen. They have a variety of lures and bait, and can give current lake information also.

We visited Killen Pond and stayed for a week in one of their cabins.  It was a most enjoyable stay.  The cabin was comfortable and the park surrounding were amazingly beautiful.  We had access to a paddleboat and dock which we used every day in addition, we brought our bikes and took a bike ride every morning.  We loved it and would highly reccommend it to couples or family vacation....
