Renovo, Administrative division in Clinton County, Pennsylvania, United States.
Renovo sits along the West Branch Susquehanna River in northwestern Pennsylvania, a small borough surrounded by state parks and forests of the Pennsylvania Wilds. The town is accessible by Pennsylvania Route 120 and offers easy access to hiking trails and natural areas throughout the region.
The Philadelphia and Erie Railroad founded Renovo in 1860 as a midpoint between major cities, establishing large maintenance shops that anchored the local economy for decades. Industrial changes and the decline of rail operations transformed the town significantly.
The Flaming Foliage Festival each October draws the community together with a parade, craft vendors, and celebrations centered on the fall colors that blanket the region.
Visitors should use Pennsylvania Route 120 to reach the town and check local resources for current trail conditions and park access information. Fall months offer the best conditions for outdoor activities, while park exploration and river access remain popular year-round.
The town experienced rapid growth during the railroad era, transforming from a simple station stop into a busy rail center with extensive workshops and infrastructure. Several period buildings and former workshop sites still stand today, revealing traces of this now-vanished industrial chapter.
