Notable events

"Gold Fever", a longstanding, annual geology club event held in the month of June (floating date announced annually prior to event). The name of the event is taken from a play with words from the school mascot, the Golden Knight. Club members line-up along and within the shallow waters of the Naurashaun Brook south of Townline Road and test their skills at gold panning the placer deposits found within the brook. Due to the year-round popularity of the activity with local residents, town officials have had to begin charging non-residents of the Town of Clarkstown a fee for a day-use permit. Parking is prohibited along Townline Road.
