Spring
Love, romance and renewal are in the air, and springtime in Clearfield County is a great place to celebrate all three! Rekindle love at one of our cozy bed and breakfasts or a luxurious master suite at one of our fine hotels. Embrace the romance of a candlelit dinner for two at any of several choice restaurants. We invite you to renew your mind, body and spirit with a visit to Clearfield County, Pennsylvania. Swing into spring at one of Clearfield County’s PGA rated golf courses, or tie a fly and hit the waters in search of the elusive “big one!” If you are a bird enthusiast, Clearfield County lies within the migratory flyway, and spring is a great time to watch the northbound flocks as they fly over. Catch them on camera as they take a rest on their long journey back to their summer home. Buds are popping everywhere, and so are great deals at our local swap meets, flea markets and auctions. Prefer name brand shopping? DuBois and Clearfield each offer specialty shops and name brand stores, with easy on and off of Interstate 80. Whatever you like to do, springtime in Central Pennsylvania is a great time to do it!

Fall
Slipping temperatures and crisper nights give a feel all their own to Clearfield County at this time of year.

There’s still plenty of time for star-gazing, fish catching and wildlife watching. And leaf-catching. Some of the best fall foliage colors in the east can be seen in Clearfield County. Keep up to date by checking out wwwfallinpa.com. Whether its elk or elm, whatever you come to see, we have plenty of places to stay while you play. Coming in for a Penn State game?

Winter
The bears may hibernate but we don’t! There are miles of snowmobile trails, public lands for hiking and snow- shoeing, and plenty of water surface for ice fishing. Winter activities abound at our state and local parks. Take a sleigh ride through snow covered fields, or amble down the Groundhog Trail for some wine tasting. Or take the old Tyrone Pike to Beccaria for some of the most amazing animated holiday light displays in the region. It will put you in the holiday spirit and leave you thinking – “How’d they do that?” If you’re visit is “A Search for Peace,” you’ll find the locally written Christmas production in Curwensville. Looking for an out- of the ordinary gift? Take a look at one of our specialty shops, where you’ll find one-of a kind items, many proudly made right here in Clearfield County. From downtown DuBois to Down River, you can find just the right gift for that special someone. Rather watch the snow than be out in it? Curl up with a blanket and that special someone and count snowflakes as they dance their way to the ground. Let a bottle of wine and the warmth of a fire kindle a spark! Visit Clearfield County- and leave room in your suitcase for the memories!
