Is it OK to bathe in a lake?
Chef's answer
If there is a lake or stream along your trail or near your campsite, take a bath in nature. Just rinsing off in fresh water will remove excess dirt and oils. If that's not your thing or there is no water, bring extra water and biodegradable soap in order to bathe yourself.
