You’ll see kids splashing, adults floating on noodles, and retirees chatting on lounge chairs. Nearby, several kilometers of trails wind through the forest. Hiking nude is surprisingly liberating. You feel the breeze differently. You notice the textures of leaves and moss. And yes, you’ll probably smile for no reason. bare oaks family naturist park, campground, east gwillimbury
