Discover Clearfield

Downtown Clearfield is a classic All-America small town in central Pennsylvania with endless opportunity. Downtown Clearfield borders the West Branch of the Susquehanna River and historical architecture echoes throughout the streets. The Clearfield Borough has a population of approximately 6,400 individuals that are hardworking, kind-spirited, and family-oriented. Clearfield is the County Seat, is the gateway into the PA Wilds, is known for abounding outdoor recreation activities, and is becoming an emerging leader in the alternative energy market, not just in the state of Pennsylvania, but also in the United States.

In the Fall of 2008, the Clearfield Revitalization Corporation, (CRC) became officially incorporated as a 501c3 non-profit charity to rally the grassroots spirit of a community and lead the revitalization efforts of the downtown. It has been a success, as Clearfield is a designated Main Street Community by the State of PA and true revitalization is happening.

Discover the hidden treasures and experience the small-town charm of Downtown Clearfield. Explore. Enjoy. Discover Clearfield for yourself!
