According to the [[United States Census Bureau]], the CDP has a total area of {{convert|5.4|sqmi|km2}}, all land.

The [[topography]] is a result of the massive [[glaciation]] of the [[Last Glacial Period|last ice age]], and as such the soil is extremely rocky and the surface shows [[glacial erratic]] boulders. The glacial ice scraped off and carried with it rocks and minerals from as far north as [[Canada]], depositing them in Nanuet in particular and southern New York in general. This is the hypothesized source of the [[manganese]]-rich parvo-mangano-edenite minerals, as well as the [[placer deposit|placer]] ore for gold panning within Nauraushaun Brook. There are fossil impressions of huge [[Precambrian|Precambrian Era]] [[jellyfish]] in the wooded, undeveloped regions. One prominent surface feature, a [[Hopewell tradition|Hopewell Indian]] burial mound dating to 325 AD, is located near Nauraushaun Brook at the western edge of the Manhattan Woods Golf Club in [[West Nyack, New York|West Nyack]]. Aerial views of this feature reveal it to have been built in the shape of a snake.

Lake Nanuet Park is a pool which is designed to look like a naturally occurring lake. The park which surrounds it offers residents a summer pool and recreational baseball/softball fields. Recent massive flooding and subsequent contamination closed the park for swimming until 2011.
