Mazo Beach, Wisconsin
Mazo Beach, Wisconsin was the site of the National Nude Beach Weekend in 1985.
Unlike other beaches we have seen, this is not a beach on the sea or on a lake. It's a beach on a river: the Wisconsin River, which flows into the Mississippi. It was one of the most popular nudist spots in the Midwest.

Mazo Beach is a nickname. Officially, it's part of the Mazomanie Bottoms State Natural Area, about 6 miles southwest of Sauk City.
Although Bottoms refers to bottomland, which is low-lying land along a watercourse, I think the name Bottoms is appropriate for a nude beach. We will see a few bottom views of a guy on Mazo Beach who calls himself Love It Wet. Above, looking across the river.
A side view shows that he's well-equipped in front.
Here he is looking at and being looked at by some canoes heading down the river.
Hi, there, canoes!
Unfortunately, the state closed the beach in 2016, citing illegal drug use and public sexual activity on the beach.

I live in Milwaukee. Back in the 80's and 90's I was there ALL the time. In fact, I was actually there that weekend! I really miss it. It was a wonderful, free place. Now I go to a landed club not too far from there.
Reminded me of Collins Beach here, outside of Portland. Bummer that it got closed.
You Americans let prudish hypocrites rule over your lives !
So much for the land of the free.
In Europe we have many official nude beaches in every country, and we have few if any problems.
Many Americans need to grow up and develop a mature attitude !
So sorry it's closed!!
Wonderful place and time!
Nice to see these photos and read about it!
