Nude Beach Shut Down

Nude Beach Shut Down, An infamous nude beach in southern Wisconsin has been shutdown on weekdays after a spate of illicit outdoor sex, public drug use and cruising.

Nudists from around the country have been traveling to Mazomanie Beach for decades, but the state Department of Natural Resources is fed up with the sordid behavior and today announced it was putting a stop to it.......dailymail.co.uk.

'The goal of this closure is to make Mazomanie Beach a safe and enjoyable environment for everyone who visits or floats past the area,' said DNR Conservation Warden Nate Kroeplin.

Wardens arrested 26 people for illicit sex and 16 people for drugs during just nine days of surveillance in 2011

'It is clear from our records that the majority of illicit activity is taking place on weekdays. Along with the closure we will add extra law enforcement presence.'

Wardens arrested 26 people for illicit sex and 16 people for drugs during just nine days of surveillance in 2011.

The agency announced that it will close the beach, surrounding islands and wooded areas on weekdays beginning immediately and extending until September 15.
New signage is being prepared and will be installed as quickly as possible, according to property managers.

The beach will remain open on weekends from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m.

As such, events such as the annual 'Nude Olympics' should not be affected as this is generally held on a weekend.

On its website, an organization called Friends of Mazo Beach writes: 'We oppose any action by the DNR or any other public officials to restrict or eliminate such usage.'

The beach is located along the Lower Wisconsin River in the northwest corner of Dane County in the Town of Mazomanie.

Kroeplin said nudists from as far as Florida have traveled to the beach in search of a sexual encounter.
