Here’s Why You Need To Visit The Most Remote Town In Pennsylvania

Tucked away in Clinton County, Renovo evokes memories of small town America of long ago. Less than 1,300 people call Renovo, the most remote town in Pennsylvania with more than 1,000 residents, home. Spanning a little over one square mile, the tiny town of Renovo is a must visit, especially during October when the annual Flaming Foliage Festival is held.

The secluded town of Renovo, nestled in the Pennsylvania Wilds, offers the ideal opportunity for a quaint day trip or a weekend getaway. Tiny as it may be, Renovo still offers plenty for visitors to experience.

Tour the town on foot and stroll past charming houses and...

Beautiful churches.

Antique collectors just may find a hidden treasure at By The Back Porch, 43 Astrid Street, which welcomes shoppers on Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Or, you might want to check out The Rummage Shop on 706 Erie Avenue.

Stop by the Greater Renovo Heritage Park, designed to honor the town's rich past to illustrate its importance in the present.

Several restaurants - like the Sportsman's Hotel at 12700 Renovo Road - dot the Renovo landscape, providing the ideal opportunity to sit back, enjoy a meal, and chat with the locals.

Enjoy the crisp autumn air with a morning or an afternoon at nearby Kettle Creek State Park, a more than 1,700 acre state park that runs along Kettle Creek.

Outdoor enthusiasts also flock to Sproul State Forest, which spans 476 square miles, in Western Clinton County. Ideal for hiking, camping, horseback riding, fishing, and picnicking, the forest is in Western Clinton County with its main office located in Renovo.

Undoubtedly the highlight of the autumn season, Renovo hosts the annual Flaming Foliage Festival, held in mid-October each year.

The popular festival celebrates the breathtaking fall foliage of Renovo and Western Clinton County and features a parade.

Townspeople and visitors also enjoy the many vendors and artisans who bring their fare to the festival each year.

The weekend caps off on each year when the previous year's Flaming Foliage Festival queen passes her crown to the new queen.

Small towns, like the most remote town in Pennsylvania, dot the landscape of our beautiful state, providing the perfect opportunity for a quick getaway from the hustle and bustle of every day life.
