Lake O The Woods/cooperative nudist club/

Introduction: Lake O’ the Woods Club is a family oriented and cooperatively owned nudist club. We work together and have fun together. We depend on friendship, respect, caring, volunteer spirit and cooperation among our members. We work to promote safety and protect the privacy of our membership and visitors. We all share common facilities and need to use common sense as we work together. We welcome children. Nudist visitors who share our values are welcomed during the main season, from approximately mid-May to mid-September. The purpose of this visitor information and these rules is to information to help you enjoy your visit and understand basic rules. The annual schedule, an event schedule, and a detailed set of rules are available from the gatekeeper that includes information about the use of the pool, club house facility, lake, boats, fishing and details on other matters.
