The refuge closure is next door
The adjacent U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service waterfowl production area closes from March 1 through July 15, including its open beaches. Montana FWP states that Somers Beach State Park itself remains separate from that seasonal boundary.
A shoreline, not a developed guarded beach
The official page lists swimming, gravel paths, parking, and a vault latrine. It does not state lifeguard coverage, a buoyed area, or a day-use reservation system.
