All the public land in the good old USA it seems like a person could be allowed to find a secluded place like Annie or Bejammin put out the nude sunbather warning sign and not be bothered or prosecuted, law enforcement has real crime to be worried about.

I would think that forest rangers in California have enough to do with those 500,000 acres of burnt forest land, without spending money on tracking down isolated nudists in the forest. I hope that is the case, but of course, I don't want fires to be a source of looser nudity laws anywhere.
Fortunately, or unfortunately for some, the rangers have been cut back in manpower, and are mostly, if not considering headquarters office people, relegated to checking camping sites, and lookout towers, and a few other functions that don't take them constantly all over the forests. They have to make do with the manpower do they have. I can speak only in regard for what I have witnessed, naturally. I have only seen one ranger away from an official tower, or civilized areas where people congregate for vacations. They do mark trees with ribbons for unknown (to me) reasons.
There is a remote campground that almost nobody goes to, but that is where I bumped into a ranger making the rounds through campgrounds in her area. She almost bumped into me while I was skinnydipping, and would have succeeded had she been a few minutes earlier. She did catch me without my shirt on. No arrest, however!!
Occasionally they will have flights over certain areas, too. Good thing you can hear that aircraft far away. I'll bet many forest rangers have sneaked in a skinny dip or two.

I have been caught nude by rangers in California and Oregon in both states after a bit of conversation I was let of with a don't do that verbal. I have also found a few that are sympathetic and just wave as they go by. In certain areas of the California state parks the Cahill policy has been affirmed by the CA State Supreme Court thus even though it is not an on the books statute it has been cited and is now case law. As such it was the back bone of the reason that the decision to close San Onofre State beach to nude use was struck down. I have run into numerous non nude folks while freehiking or skinny dipping on public land in remote locations. Generally what I have found is the further you are from a public road or parking area the less likely you are to run into folks and those that you do run into have a shared love of nature and are generally not as hung up about nudity as long as you are respectful and polite. Just my own experiences here I can't say that everyone will have the same luck as me but I have have very good luck so far.

I'm a bit surprised that you say you were "caught." You seem to think you were doing something wrong.
Oregon has no statute prohibiting MERE public nudity, although the small number of "charter cities" may establish anti-nudity ordinances and a few have. Of course, such ordinances apply only within the limits of that particular city.
In Oregon, when you got a "don't do that" warning outside a charter city, the officer was either ignorant of the law or, more likely, was just trying to bamboozle you.
Most officers come from the more 'conservative' segment of society, and many of them use their authority to further their personal agenda - no matter what the law says. They usually get away with it, because the people they confront are cowed by the uniform and abysmally ignorant of the law.

Yes well in Oregon it was a US Forest Service ranger of the law enforcement branch and she was packing a gun so I didn't feel like pressing my luck. You see I was skinny dipping in an area that she said was a kind of restricted area. I never pushed it but in another episode I was at a hot springs and a ranger came down to say hi to everyone and an just check out the area for trash I suppose, never mentioned the nudity at all.

NudeAl,
Were you near an official campground, or out in the middle of nowhere? I was wondering what brought the ranger to your choice of place. I.e., why did the ranger pick that place? I suppose it might have been an area used by a fair amount of people. Just scratching my head a little.

Out west it seems they are more tolerant of nudist, down here in the biblebelt you can become a sex offender which doesn't make sense if you are caught in the middle of nowhere. The one positive to the budget cuts is fewer encounters with rangers and other law enforcement.

Once upon a vacation in s/w fla.Usa Sanibel Island, according to World guide of nude beaches, an area north of the State park beach was listed as nude friendly or as found out the hard way, most areas are someones favorite skinney dip location, unoffical/ not legal bare if you dare, the wife drops me off at the gate house for addmission, she'd rather go shopping and her warning don't get arrested, seemed odd. The area is perfect although seculed and rustic no one coming/going, i was nude and care free until an atv, park ranger (female) surprises me coverup too late, she says what are doing here,i,m enjoying this beach, and now #2 atv arrives (male) they were friendly and very surprised to find out its listed in the book, i showed them it. They didn't have problem and said the state troppers will arrest you handcuff and drag me to jail. Serious stuff indeed, no fun. They said be warned and have a nice day, it was, the troppers didn't show up I'm glad. They've seen people arrested there and they weren't happy about it, who would be.

Wel unbeknownst to me the place was very popular with others who had in the past been found camping at this very spot for weeks at a time. I was outside of an established camping area however there was a campground about 5 miles away. I think it was being in a location they had had issues with in the past and I just happened to be there. Real bummer as I had been driving several hours and was looking to skinny dip and then set up a camp there. Unfortunatly I had to head on down the road to the campground. Now I may do things differently knowning a bit more but this was 15 years or so ago.

I am sure I am not only one to go nude at the public beach but just only nude in the water like most do go out about neck deep then slide down swimsuit so your skinnydipping in the same water as all the uptight textiles are swimming.

As for me it would depend if there's no one at the non nude public beach.This reminds back 15 years ago when wife (then my gf) would go skinny dipping in the beach as soon as the sun has gone down.

I/we've never done it ... yet. Maybe it's because those "public" beaches, we've visited, were full of ... the public!
IF the opportunity presented itself and we were certain we would not be seen or bothered ... sure, we'd get naked on a public beach. But ... I guess what I've stated isn't completely true. We HAVE been naked on a "public" beach on the island of St. Martin, Orient Beach. I've worn a short pareo and taken it off in a couple of the shops on the beach to try another one on, with clothed people in the shop. BUT ... Orient Beach is a bit different than the "public" beach we are discussing.
Loves being naked. Plays well with others!

A few years ago, the wife and I took a bike ride to Long Point Ontario Canada. There was a c/o beach there and we would check it out. Right beside this c/o beach was a provincial park. ( like our state parks ) We camped there and walked on the beach as far as we could. No body was on that beach, so didn't know if we should go nude or not. Oh yea,, I didn't say that the wind was howling and the temps were getting lower. We just kicked back at the prov. park. As we were leaving the next day, same weather conditions, we asked a park ranger if it was true about the c/o beach. He smiled and said yes. BUMMER, that it was so cold and windy. Never went back.

Being nude on a public (non nude) beach
