Hunting
Clearfield County has plenty of room for hunters, and special seasons for bow and muzzleloaders. Several sportsmen's groups in the area also hold shoots and contests throughout the year, which are open to the public. Hunters are welcome at Wopsononock Natural Area, a 550+ acre CCRTA owned and managed plot in Southern Clearfield County. Close to two state game lands, hunters will find "wopsy" to be a favorite spot for deer, bear and turkey. Hunting is also permitted on State Game Commission leased land near Curwensville Lake Recreation Area, which has extended its season to accomodate hunters wishing to camp close by.

Miles of protected streams where Brook Trout dance on the water, lakes that are teeming with Bass and Walleye, and rivers with plenty of room for fly fishing are just some of the reasons anglers from across the USA trek here year-round.
