MAZOMANIE, WI (WTAQ) - Too much outdoor sex and drug use has the Department of Natural Resources deciding to close down a nude beach near Mazomanie on weekdays.

State officials have been struggling to cut back on sex and drug use, without much success.

During one nine-day period, 26 people were arrested for illicit sex and another 16 for drug offenses. That roundup was conducted two years ago.

The DNR announced earlier Tuesday it is going to close the beach, surrounding islands and wooded areas starting immediately.

The beach will still be open on weekends from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m.
