It depends on whether you are nude with the intent to be seen. In other words, if you have a privacy fence and people can still see you from their deck or from a second story window in their home, then the law would most likely presume that you 'intended to be seen' because you knew that you COULD be seen. On the other hand, if you can't normally be seen by anyone and someone just walks up and looks over the fence or walks into your backyard, then you are okay. The bottom line is that you need to take some very affirmative steps to prevent yourself from being seen by the public.
IC 35-45-4-1
Public indecency
(e) A person who, in a place other than a public place, with the intent to be seen by persons other than invitees and occupants of that place:

(2) engages in deviate sexual conduct;
(3) fondles the person's genitals or the genitals of another person; or
(4) appears in a state of nudity;
where the person can be seen by persons other than invitees and occupants of that place commits indecent exposure, a Class C misdemeanor.
