A popular nude beach located on a river in Wisconsin will now be closed to the public on weekdays.
The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) stated the new policy has been put in place to stop beachgoers from enjoying sex and drugs in the area.
On Tuesday the DNR announced that the beach, the islands off the beach, and the woods surrounding the beach will be closed on weekdays. The new rules take effect immediately and last from now until September 15. The closure will last from March 1 to September 15 in future years. The beach area will be opened on Saturday and Sunday, from 6 am to 8 pm.
“The goal of this closure is to make Mazomanie Beach a safe and enjoyable environment for everyone who visits or floats past the area.” said Nate Kroeplin, DNR conservation warden. ” It is clear from our records that the majority of illicit activity is taking place on weekdays. Along with the closure we will add extra law enforcement presence.”
