The Paddling Bares Canoe Club Naturist Paddling at its Best

If you are a canoeist who enjoys skinnydipping or a naturist who would like to go canoeing, we are the group for you. Unlike most clubs, we don't specialize in any particular type of trip, such as whitewater or sea-kayaking. We sponsor as wide a variety of trips as possible. Our emphasis is on quality trips in areas where we can skinnydip without legal hassles. We encourage safe boating practices (including the providing of informal instruction), respect for the environment, and tolerance for the beliefs of others. We have members of all ages and paddling skill levels, from beginner to expert. They represent a broad cross-section of cultural, economic and religious backgrounds. Members include couples, singles, and families. We openly welcome individuals, couples and families as new members who have a desire enjoy the outdoors naturally via canoe. Most of our activities are open to our members only. An annual membership is just $11.00/year and entitles you, with some safety related exceptions, to attend all of our activities. Also included is a year's subscription to our newsletter, The Naturist Paddler, which contains our detailed trip schedule and articles of interest to our members. We generally run trips every other weekend during spring/summer/fall, less often in the winter, with about an even distribution of day trips and two to three day-long canoe camping trips. The overnight trips usually involve camping in primitive campsites. Most of our trips are in the New Jersey area, but each year we run at least one longer trip (one to two weeks in duration) in more distant locations- such as the Everglades (FL), Assateague (MD), Adirondacks (NY) or the Allagash (ME). Although you can expect to make new friends paddling with us, if your primary motivation is romance, you would be better off trying a dateing site. The site below has a canoeing/kayaking category.
