Yes, it's all the way to the end of the day parking lot. East end.
No, dogs are not allowed on the beach at North Higgins unfortunately. However. South Higgins has one that is public and one for the campers.
South Beach
No, but South Higgins lake state park has a dog beach and it's only a short drive to it from the North state park.
No
No. But you could try Kneff lake. I have seen dogs swimming there. Not on the beach but off to the side. There is a fee of $5.00 for a day pass. Or if you are a senior you could use your national park pass to get in free.
