The yearly Bare Oaks spring flood is on. With the warmer weather comes the runoff through the Black River and Harrison Creek. The unusually high amount of snowfall this year has created some record flooding. Yesterday, the water was running over parts of Kennedy Road and Queensville Sideroad had to be closed because some much water was flowing over it. If you are planning on visiting Bare Oaks in the next while, please be careful. If you are traveling at night, you may not see the water on the road until you are in it. Access to the back of Bare Oaks (Beckett Circle) isRead More →

I’ve been a fan of Stephen’s work for several years now. (Noodtoonist is his term) His naturist comic novels are the best ones I’ve seen. I own his only printed book, The Koala Bares. I love it because his characters have realistic body types and represent all kinds of people. He does a great job of illustrating real naturism and naturist values. Experienced naturists will recognized many familiar situations in his stories and laugh at the incredulity of textile-naturist conflict. I’ve added the current strip to the Bare Oaks news page. It will update automatically each time that Stephen publishes a new one. http://www.bareoaks.ca/Bare-Oaks/News.html OrRead More →

Unfortunately, the cold weather is coming fast which means that we need to shut down the seasonal water supply. (that’s everyone in Beckett Circle (including the washrooms) and a few connections in Helios Circle) The shutdown is scheduled for Monday October 29th. If you have a trailer at Bare Oaks, we strongly recommend that you get it winterized. Failure to do so could result in damages that would be expensive to repair. If you would like a recommendation on who can provide you with this service, please contact the office. Of course, Bare Oaks is open all year and you are most welcome to continueRead More →
