As you may have guessed from the name, this waterfall lies within a established nudist bathing area in “The Gulf,” a 3-mile long gorge carved out by Chautauqua Creek as it descends over the glacial Lake Erie ridge into present day Lake Erie. While the 6 ft tall Skinny Dip Falls and the few other small cascades you can find here are nothing spectacular, the deep pools, refreshing water, and scenic gorge are the big draw.
Don’t let the “nudist area” label scare you. The 2/3 mile trek is mostly a mild creekwalk. While there’s usually enough exposed stone to keep dry, stomping and splashing up the creek while you hike is why so many people (with and without clothes) love this trail. Whether you choose to do that balls-out or not, is entirely up to you.

Definitely our local favorite! During summer check out their live music and food truck scene on the weekends. An outdoor farm environment with plenty of seating and great acoustics. The beer selection is the best locally!
