founded in 1933, Lake O' the Woods Club has long been well-known among folks and friends from the world-wide nudist community as a jewel and a joy to visit.
We are a 100% AANR-affiliated, family-oriented cooperative nudist club located in the city of Valparaiso in Northwest Indiana. Located a stone’s throw from Valparaiso University and about 55 miles SE of Chicago.
Ours is one of the two oldest continually operating nudist clubs in the U.S.A. In 2023 we celebrated 90 continuous years as a nudist club Our setting is 130 acres of hilly forested terrain surrounding the stunning 20-acre creek- and spring-fed Sager’s Lake.
Our amenities include a heated outdoor pool, hot tub, sauna, outdoor solar showers, two sandy beaches, quiet sun decks, fishing docks, and two floating docks. Beautiful Sager’s Lake entices swimmers, boaters, fishers, and birdwatchers, while the woods offers quiet serenity among the flora and fauna, as well as workouts for hikers and runners on the Circle Trail, a 1.4 mile wooded trail circumnavigating the lake. yes, you may run nude. (a 5k is in the planning stage for July 2025!) Plus, we have plenty of social activities on weekends for all ages.
Thanks to all of our visitors, 2024 was a fabulous year! We enjoy sharing our Lake O’ The Woods with fellow nudists from afar and a-near, and making new friends. This year we met a record number of folks who had never been socially nude before but had always wanted to try it.
We are currently closed until may 2025. Check our calendar as we plan things for next year, and schedule your 2025 visit around an upcoming event, or just spend quiet weekdays here with a good book, soaking up sunshine, clothes-free.
It’s a different way of being, and we invite you to share this.
