Southwick Beach State Park is spacious and popular, known for outstanding
swimming and sunning on its long sandy beach. Campers and day-users enjoy
picnicking, hiking and games on the playing fields. The park is adjacent to
the Lakeview Wildlife Management Area, home to the environmentally-sensitive
coastal sand dunes. Park nature, hiking, cross-country skiing and
snowshoeing trails adjoin the wildlife management area and its trail system,
which visitors are encouraged to use. During the winter, snowmobilers are
permitted in the park. Deer hunting is allowed south of the park entrance in
season.
