The guide

Where exactly

Take the Island Park Bridge. About half way accross. Turn right, onto the island.

Cruisiest spot: East side along river.

When to go

All day Best times: Dusk to dawn Dates open: All year

Etiquette

Get out and walk around. Be brave and flash. Show that you are interested.

Nudity: Yes / Not official but have seen guys naked or almost naked in their cars and occassionally wlking around.

Safety

cruiser adds: this island is a Family picnic area so cruising may be fine during the day but definitaly not for out door ! That kind of indiscrete behavior has attracted the attention of the police, and of course, as a consequence there have been a number of crackdowns at precisely 10:00 pm to flush everyone out of the parking lot. People need to exercise some common sense.
