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).
I used to go to Illinois Beach State Park years ago for sunbathing in the dunes of the far south section of the park...go to the nature preserve...park in parking area...walk to the far south end of the park where you will run into Dead River...that is the property line for the park I believe...Continue walking along the river until you reach Lake Michigan...
One can find a private dune area....strip nude...keep gym shorts handy for quick put on in case use spy law enforcement...usually they are on ATVs so if you hear an ATV put on your gym shorts...
It can be stressful but not really much of a problem...
I could head up once warm during the week Monday thru Friday if anyone else would like to share gas cost for some nude outdoor sunning.

I would be willing to share the gas cost if you decide to head that way .
went today knowing the wind was out of the west.. thinking/hoping that it was to early for the lovely flies............wrong.
got to the parking lot at one and there were two cars there. gave it a go anyway. as long as you walked by the water and kept moving all was well.
but soon as you stop, all the flies attack. well heres to and easterly wind!!
