Hamlin Beach State Park is a state park located on the shore of Lake Ontario in the Town of Hamlin in Monroe County, New York in the United States of America. The Lake Ontario State Parkway passes through the park. ==History== Evidence of the Civilian Conservation Corps' park improvements can be seen, including stone-work on headwalls, barriers and pavilions. Their work on the park spanned six years and was responsible for six buildings and the reclamation of swampland on the eastern end. During World War II, the site was used as a POW camp, housing up to 336 prisoners by 1946. The camp served as a labor hub, providing workers to local farms and food processing plants in the Hamlin area. The camp was dismantled when the war was over. The site became a state park in 1938 and development began to expand it even further. The Lake Ontario State Parkway was extended through the park, increasing accessibility. The parking lot was expanded to handle the increase in visitors, and the campgrounds were built. During the 1970s, the park, specifically the beach, was suffering from large amounts of erosion from storms. State and Federal funding was provided and the beaches were rebuilt and jetties were added to help prevent further damage. Development on the Yanty Creek Nature trail began as well. It is now a mile-long trail with educational markers along the way. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hamlin Beach State Park」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
