Illinois Beach State Park
Return to DiscussionsYears ago, nudity at IBSP in Zion was not uncommon, but it had gotten to be a cruising site, and was cracked down on hard (mostly by enforcing the rules about going off trails -- made it harder for honest naturist+naturalist folks like me to get pictures of some of the wildflowers).
Since then, there's always been a contingent of thong-clad men, and other nudity has been rare on the south unit -- I found secluded spots for sunning and discrete skinny-dips right on the beach in the north unit but those have lost their cover as erosion changes the beachfront year by year.
It appears that ranger patrols have been reduced (I'm guessing budget limits, especially with what they've had to spend after the last few years' storm damage). I've started to see a bit more flagrant nudity on the south unit (a topless woman this last sunday, a guy changing into his thong in full view of the beach). Especially further down the beach, it seems an opportunity to start colonizing the place again.
Sundays seem to be my best day to get there -- anyone else want to join me? Walk a mile south of the nature center, you might find me (but without a signal, you won't find me nude -- I'll see you coming).
Saturday the 16th was fantastic: high 80s, light breeze.
The North unit, surprisingly, had a couple of nude dudes (widely separated, I doubt they knew the other was there), nodded to each as I hiked.
When I got to the South unit around 2PM, there were a few thonged folks, and surprisingly several women top-free with their (non-nude) SOs. On the way out again, folks had relaxed a bit, a few guys nude.
The water was quite pleasant, great day on the beach.
I hope I get the chance to get out one afternoon this week, but it's looking doubtful that I'll have the time.
Went for a bit today, trying to enjoy the last of the 90 degree days. Wasn't ever sure if i was in the right area. Only found a handful of fully clothed people. Surprised there weren't more out to enjoy the last hot day.
Couldn't spend very long.
Anyone want to go tomorrow morning?
i'm thinking we all should somehow have a house party for all of us nudity deprived people. the chicago fun club usually has some fun outings but i don't see any posted on the meetup. anyone open to having a illinois state beach party?
