Summer Spotlight: Rock River Gay Beach |
|
The Newfane area of Southeast Vermont is home to the Gay Beach and Nude Swimming Hole on the Rock River, which for over 50 years has historically been a safe gathering place for gay men. Frog Meadow is just 4 miles from the Rock River Gay Beach trailhead!
Just upstream from the confluence of the Rock and West Rivers, there are a series of deep, clear water swimming holes. Known as “Indian Love Call” by the locals there is a long tradition of nude bathing on the Rock River as there is in Vermont in general.
As you hike further up the Rock River you will notice that the first swimming hole is deep with a sandy beach and a rope swing. This is the “family” swimming hole where the clothing stays on.
|
|
The further upstream you go the more likely you are to see nude bathers; the next couple of beaches up the trail are mixed, gay and straight, and nude.
As you continue further up the Rock River it becomes increasingly gay until you reach your final destination (about a 30-minute hike from the road) and discover the “official” gay area. While the wooded areas are very cruisy and do have their share of activities, the scene by the water is very social and quite friendly (e.g. no “attitude”).
Men often bring preparations with them for a summer BBQ and, generally speaking, all are welcome, especially if you have things to share. There is a feeling of being in another time and place when you’re there. [Click to read more about Rock River here...]

Virtual Soulful Breathwork & Guided Meditation
with Christian de la Huerta, Soulful Power
For most of us, the past two years has afforded an opportunity like never before to stare into the face in the mirror and ask difficult questions. The ongoing acts of becoming ourselves did not stop simply because the world was in a global timeout. In fact, we suggest that because our lives paused during the quarantine we were able to lean into what it means to become more deeply ourselves!
What kind of lives do we choose for ourselves, what kind of world do we create on the other side of this collective reset?
|
|
Check out the Eye of the Storm Resources with guided meditations, breathing practices to calm the mind and strengthen the immune system, and links to virtual gatherings where adventurers of spirit meet to re-center, reconnect and rejuvenate!

"I want to thank you both for welcoming me into your home with open arms, you were excellent hosts.
Your accommodations are exquisite and the grounds and facilities are lovely!
The two of you have created something very special: An oasis of safety for gay men to meet and openly discuss and explore our sexuality without the shackles of clothing.
