Oregon's public indecency statute, ORS 163.465, is written around sexual conduct. It reaches a person who engages in sexual intercourse or deviate sexual intercourse in public, or who exposes their genitals with the intent of arousing the sexual desire of themselves or another. Simple, non-sexual nudity does not meet those elements. That is why Oregon has long-standing customary nude beaches and why the Portland World Naked Bike Ride happens without mass arrests.
This is not a green light, and please do not read it as one. A state statute is only the first of several rules that apply where you are standing. Counties and cities pass their own ordinances, and the land manager, whether that is the Forest Service, the BLM, State Parks, a county parks department or a private owner, sets its own rules on top of the law and can enforce them regardless of what the statute says. A place can be perfectly lawful under state law and still get you a citation from a ranger.
What we do on each spot page is tell you what is actually known about that specific place: who manages it, whether nudity is customary or designated there, and what people who have been report. Where we do not know, we say we do not know. We are not lawyers and this is not legal advice.
Statute: ORS 163.465. Last reviewed August 2026. If you think anything here is out of date, tell us. We would rather be corrected than wrong.
Takes about a minute, and you do not need an account.
