Welcome to
Clinton County
Welcome to Clinton County
Welcome to the wide open spaces of Clinton County. The Clinton County Economic Partnership works on behalf of the approximately 39,000 local residents and 400+ member businesses who call this area home. For over 30 years, we have worked to promote local attractions and the county’s natural beauty to tourists, help our member businesses thrive, and grow the local economy by coordinating funds and developing infrastructure to attract more investment in Clinton County.
For both the Partnership and our members, these challenging times have tested many long-successful businesses yet buoyed others. Together we have worked to minimize the impact of Covid-19 on our community, keep people up-to-date with information and resources, and help the many visitors who have a new appreciation for the wide open, fun, safe, spaces Clinton County offers.
Situated in north-central Pennsylvania’s beautiful PA Wilds region, our topography is diverse. Northern Clinton County is mountainous, heavily forested and sparsely populated. State parks and state forests welcome the public to enjoy unspoiled nature at its best – in fact, over 60 percent of Clinton County is state forest, park and game land, available for public use.
The West Branch of the Susquehanna River traverses our county and was a vital factor in the area’s colonial settlement. Today, these waters provide daily recreation and create a gathering place for community celebrations and events. The City of Lock Haven is our county seat, and home to a population of nearly 10,000 people.
The Susquehanna River and Bald Eagle Creek converge at the south central portion of the County, just east of Lock Haven. South of the river, forested ridges and rolling hills, sprinkled with generational farms, form the perfect backdrop for life in our historic community.
The local valleys in the northern portions of Clinton County are narrow, with the mountains converging down sharply to the Susquehanna River. The tiny communities along the River give way to more remote territory. Sproul State Forest, Pennsylvania’s largest state forest, makes up much of the upper half of the county and offers great hunting, fishing, hiking and four-wheeling opportunities. The valleys broaden out as you come down river, providing fertile ground for farming in the Bald Eagle, Nittany and Sugar valleys.
