It's an amazing lake for both! Summer 2000 was closed, but we're hoping it'll be open this year. I think you can boat regardless though, just keep an eye on the DEP page for any regulations or closures. Honestly it's my favorite park ever! Here's the Swartswood DEP page - https://www.state.nj.us/dep/parksandforests/parks/swartswood.html
Yes, however the beach was not open last year due to Covid restrictions.
