Summer road trips are great for many reasons. Whether you just need to clear your mind and hit the open road and see some sights by yourself or you need to get out of the house with your kids, road trips are beneficial for all. But if you live in Sussex County and don’t necessarily like the idea of driving long distances, there are plenty of options for you to take a short trip and have an enjoyable day at the same time. One of those places is Swartswood State Park in Swartswood, New Jersey. 

What’s Great About Swartswood State Park?

The lake at Swartswood State Park is a popular attraction since it is kept up very well. Many people believe it’s the closest thing to being on the shore without making the trip to the shore itself. With the sandy beach, plenty of room to spread out and the constant breeze blowing from the lake, it almost feels as if you’re along the coastline. Grab a few chairs and some friends and enjoy some music sitting by the calming waters of the lake at Swartswood State Park.

 

Swartswood State Park is great for a summer road trip.You’re welcome to bring any food or drinks into the park, but concession stands are also available if you forget or don’t want to pack anything for your trip. Kids have two different playgrounds to enjoy during the visit. Just be sure to clean up after your kids and your family to keep the park cleaner than it was when you arrived.

 

If you’re looking for an outdoor adventure to get your blood flowing, Swartswood State Park has several hiking trails for you to explore. Boat rentals are available on the lake also and if you have a fishing license, you can enjoy fishing in designated areas. No matter what your interests are, Swartswood State Park has something you can enjoy.

Get Your Vehicle Ready For Your Upcoming Road Trip

Whether your road trip takes you 20 miles or 200 miles, getting your vehicle prepared for the trip can prevent unforeseen interruptions. One of the most common reasons a road trip or vacation gets ruined is because of vehicle issues, and most of them are preventable. If it has been a while since you’ve taken your vehicle in for a preventive inspection, consider doing so at DeBoer’s Auto before you take on your summer road trips. You’ll have peace of mind knowing your car will get you to your destination safely without interruptions.
