Clinton County

Congressman Peterson vists the Lamar Fish Hatchery

Clinton County was formed from parts of Centre and Lycoming Counties in 1839. Due to its many canals, Clinton County was named for the canal-building governor of New York, Dewitt Clinton. The county's 903 square miles are made up of quaint small towns, rugged hills and valleys, family farms and lots of forestland. The county seat of Lock Haven sits on the West Branch of the Susquehanna River and serves not only as the county's economic engine but as a great base for outdoor excursions and activities.

Manufacturing is the number one industry in Clinton County, producing chemicals, furniture and adult hygiene products. Clinton County also produces lumber, coal and refractories. Lock Haven University and the Lock Haven Hospital are other large employers. Lock Haven is also home to the Piper Aviation Museum.

Whether you enjoy fishing, hunting, or just exploring the great outdoors, Clinton County has it all. Kettle Creek, Hyner View, Hyner Run and Ravensburg State Parks offer all types of recreation from camping and picnicking to horseback riding and hang gliding. Sproul State Forest offers scenic drives, hunting, hiking and nature watching. And for winter sports enthusiasts, there are marked trails for cross-country skiing and snowmobiling as well as a ski resort just a short drive away. Located only a few hours from most of the Northeast United States, Clinton County is a great place to get away from the hustle and bustle and spend some time in the great outdoors!
