Mountains and privacy in Clearfield Township

On the edge of Cambria County, Clearfield Township is a rural community with rolling hills, farmland and access to one of Pennsylvania’s largest state parks. The town was established in 1804, with farming and the area’s pine trees serving as major exports until the discovery of bituminous coal. The town’s mines have since closed, and Clearfield is once again primarily a farming community. Today, the town has a population of just over 1,500 and attracts those looking to move away from the city. “People are attracted to the larger lot sizes,” says Gretchen Gunnett, Team Leader of The Gretchen Gunnett Team at Perry Wellington Realty, who’s been selling homes in the area for over a decade. “If you like the mountains and want privacy, it's a nice area.”

At the park’s center is Glendale Lake, a 1,600-acre man-made lake with a marina and boat launches. There’s also a skatepark near the marina and a sliver of sandy coast with swimming access at Muskrat Beach. In the winter, locals go ice fishing on the lake and snow covers the park, opening the trails up for skiing and snowmobiling.

Traveling to Patton and Altoona on state Route 36

Clearfield is car-dependent because of its rural nature. State Route 36 runs through town and takes residents the 5 miles to Patton or the 15 miles to Altoona. Commuters can hop on U.S. Route 22 from Altoona and drive 75 miles west to Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh International is the closest airport, located 87 miles away.

Shopping and dining in Patton

In the north end of town, Pirates Cove Pub and Grill is a roadside joint with American favorites. Residents can visit the nearby town of Patton for Ken's BiLo Foods and Dollar General. Warfields’ Market is a local grocer that's been in business since 1963. Residents can also dine at Fusion Grill for Indonesian dishes or get a pizza delivered from Lou Who's. “People can also travel to Altoona for more shopping,” says Gunnett.
