Illinois Beach State Park

Years 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).

Going to be on the beach about 1130 am on Friday. Come say hi to me. I'll be in a black speedo, blue thong or nude of course.

any nude time by dead creek? Id like to check it out again, even if it's taking a dip with my head in lookout mode, but only have weekends available.

Hello southern friends, It's been three summers now that our Wisconsin DNR shut down Mazo beach. Is nudity allowed at IBSP? I might start driving south. I like the public nude beach model. True democracy in action.

It is not legal. Rangers do patrol, and will issue tickets (not arrest). Sun with caution.

Today should be a great day for the beach. No flies, lots of sun and light breeze off the lake.
