  ALERT !

Please read the following regarding nudity at on the Glassbar Island property.

"The Lane Code on prohibited nudity contains a provision for the Board of Commissioners to designate specific areas within the county as permitted nudity locations. County Counsel advises the Board has not made such designations in the county to date and therefore all nudity as described in the Lane Code is a violation of law."
