Sex in National Parks: Where People Are Having It Most

It seems that nature lovers are doing more than admiring nature at our national parks, at least according to a press release survey from MissTravel.com which claims that 1 in 5 travelers have enjoyed sex on America’s public lands. Zion National Park was crowned the top place where couples have done more than explore nature based on the survey of 8,500 traveling singles.

Brandon Wade, Founder & CEO of the website that conducted the survey notes in the press release that “Mother Nature inspires people to shed their inhibitions and give in to their primal urges. At a National Park, there are lots of secluded areas off the beaten path, and it wouldn’t be too difficult to find a quiet, romantic spot for two people to be alone together.”

While the one in five number may at first appear rather high, it’s important to remember that there are some national parks that have hotel lodging and camping within the park. Below are the top 10 parks where people are having sex according to the survey:

Kayaking Biscayne National Park

I previously mentions that I would really like to see all National Parks eventually have virtual drives such as the Big Bend National Park virtual drive. The one thing I forgot to consider was that not all National Parks are necessarily on land. Such is the case with Biscayne National Park which is 95% water. So I tried to find the next best thing and what I came up with was a friendly kayak tour of part of Biscayne National Park bay (with some funky music to go along with it)

Of course, the real beauty of Biscayne National Park is found underwater on her coral reefs:

I am really looking forward to getting a chance to explore this National Park on land, by boat and underwater.
