I hike naked every chance I get, risky yes, but you have to know where to go. Theres a lake north of where I live with some pretty good uninhibited trails, usually busy during the summer with campers and such, I find the best times for all nude hikes is morning during the week. If the parking area is empty, I have no worries. I wear a sarong from my Jeep to the beginning of the trail, its easy on, easy off in case someone happens upon me. Its about a two mile trail, wooded with open areas, talk about getting into nature, the feeling is totally awesome. So far, over the last several years Ive never been caught nude, then again, IF someone is coming or going I simple wrap the sarong around me. Problem solved. Hike naked!

Hang NakedFeb 3, 2025I would love to go on a hike like that! Naked is best with others outdoors!

AdamFeb 4, 2025I agree. Check out areas for population and then carry something with you that is easy on/off in case some else is on the trails. I have been running nude for months now.

JimFeb 4, 2025Its worked for me for years.
I keep a short sarong with me, under my backpack belt. Works great ! But then I have not heard someone coming up the trail and asked if it was okay. 99% of them have said it was okay and we kept going in different directions. LolReactReply - SP
SpaceCadet77Feb 8, 2025I hiked nude in several state parks in western Pennsylvania before I moved to Florida. There were several less popular trails, or rural extensions of trails, that were fairly "safe" to hike without clothes and I wore a small waist pack with a pair of split shorts that velcroed on the sides. By lifting the pack,the front and back parts of the shorts fell down and a quick swipe along the sides secured them...giving the illusion of regular shorts. The only potential problem was that they obviously didn't secure between my legs,so if I happened to be up a hill and someone was behind me lower on the hill, then I was "busted". Haha...that only happened once, and the couple behind me clearly knew (I suspect they actually saw me do my "drop n stick" move) since I wasn't aware they were behind me until they were close enough to hear their conversation. I turned around and greeted them when I realized they were behind me. They smiled and greeted me as well. We briefly commiserated over the arduous climb, then they passed me and that was that. No problem.
Sadly, I can't find anywhere near me in Florida to go nude hiking. I've heard of unofficial places, but haven't found them yet.
Hopefully soon though!ReactReply - AD
AdamFeb 16, 2026Awesome story brother. I think more people are open and fine with naturist activities as long as it isn't inappropriate behavior

AdamMar 12, 2026Just making awareness for different areas. I appreciate when people are able to add in from different places they have visited. Just so I know if I go there then I will be ok.

sandyMar 12, 2026There's a nature trail near my house that I go on Early In The Morning (515 or so) in the summer. I wear a loose fitting pair of shorts and Tevas. Shorts off a few feet after the parking lot. Never been caught. Never had to quickly put on shorts. Love the feeling of being nude outdoors!

I do exactly the same thing here in Texas. The trail is empty then. It is a 2 mile length one way out. Easy to be naked jogging out. Takes a bit more nerve doing it all the way back in. I done it many times over the years.
In mid summer daytime (texas100+ temps) I can walk the woods with nothing on- only me out there in the heat.
