Plenty of quaint small towns sit hidden away in what some might call the middle of nowhere in Pennsylvania. Discover the natural beauty, the old-fashioned charm, and the heartwarming friendliness of one of those towns. Plan a day trip or a weekend getaway to the Pennsylvania town of Clearfield.
Snuggled in the Pennsylvania Wilds, the enchanting Pennsylvania town of Clearfield sits along the Susquehanna River.
Capture with your camera the unspoiled beauty of the cherry blossoms each spring. Watch wildlife at Wopsononock Natural Area or hike the nearly 11 mile Clearfield to Grampian Rail Trail.
Spend a few hours learning more about the history of the area at the Clearfield County Historical Society or shop for treasures at Winter Barn Antiques.
You'll likely build up a hearty appetite with all that sightseeing. Make a beeline for Denny's Beer Barrel Pub for a delicious challenge - if you're up for it, of course.
Race the clock as you down a delicious and undeniably huge two pound or 25 pound burger. A famous burger joint since 1977, Denny's Beer Barrel Pub also serves such entrees as steak and seafood.
Visit Clearfield during August for the famous Clearfield County Fair where you'll enjoy live entertainment, thrilling rides, delicious food, and a show ring. The fair will celebrate its 158th season in 2018.
Settle down for a relaxing night away at one of the cozy inns in town. Feel as though you're a million miles away surrounded by nature at the Road Less Traveled Bed & Breakfast (pictured below), for example.
