The pool is not lake access
The state-park swimming page is explicit: swimming is prohibited in Lake Nockamixon. Its pool has slides, dressing rooms, first aid, and a snack bar, but none of those facilities authorizes entry into the lake.
Pool schedule
DCNR publishes a weather-dependent noon-to-6:00 p.m. pool season: weekends from Memorial Day weekend to mid-June, daily from mid-June to mid-August, then weekends through Labor Day. The page gives no year and lists no pool days after Labor Day weekend; confirm the next season's calendar before driving.
