the legendary Ledges of Vermont

They might be legendary only in a relatively narrow circle among those who like nude recreation, but the Ledges in Vermont was one of the first naturist locations I heard of in the US, and this place is certainly worth the hype.  The Ledges represent flat rocks situated on the Eastern shore of the Harriman Reservoir.

The lake is mostly surrounded by forest, so the shores are green, and the water is very clean (the bottom is dark though, so it makes the water look dark too). So the Ledges give an impression of a pristine place, despite being very popular and quite crowded on weekends – the parking lot was full, and quite a few people arrived by boats.

The name of Harriman is already associated with naturist activities for me, because of numerous naked hikes that we’ve done in Harriman State Park in New York, but this place is recognized as clothing-optional officially!

We spent a great August day there – swimming, sunbathing, chatting – so when the time came to leave, it was hard to do so

to the extent that some of us felt glued to the place…

  1. Brief but beautiful! And I learned of a place I had known nothing of – a place where a man can be comfortably naked outdoors.

  2. You mean New York, right?
