Rod and Gun Club
At Clarkson University, sportsmanship begins just steps away from campus.
We’re located in the North Country at the foothills of the Adirondacks, an internationally renowned biosphere region and the largest publicly protected area in the continental United States. We’re also situated on the Raquette River. Then there’s our proximity to the St. Lawrence River — just 30 miles from campus —giving us ample opportunities to hunt and fish the lands and waterways of St. Lawrence County.
So, where do you start? Whether you’re a casual fisher, a hunter, a target shooter, an archer, a trapper, or just an avid outdoorsman, the Clarkson University Rod & Gun Club welcomes you and serves as your introduction to our region’s hunting and fishing activities. Learn more about where we go and how you can participate.
