Renovo is a borough in Clinton County , Pennsylvania , 28 miles (45 km) northwest of Lock Haven . Deposits of bituminous coal and fire clay are in the region. In 1900 , 4,082 people lived here, and in 1910 , 4,621 lived here. In the 2000 census, the borough population was 1,318. The borough is located in the middle of Pennsylvania's famed "Bucktail Trail," also know as US Route 120 which winds through the surrounding mountains following the West Branch of the Susquehanna River. The town is also the home of the "Flaming Foliage Festival" held each October, generally in the second weekend, that celebrates the glorious fall colors of the area's mountains. The festival includes a parade, a queen is chosen (usually from one of the nearby high schools) and crowned. The festival serves as a 'homecoming' event for former residents of Renovo, many of whom return annually for the event. Renovo is also considered to be one of the best deer hunting areas in the East. The deer population can be quite large in any year and drivers in the area are cautious in the fall twilight as hitting a large deer on the highway can be very dangerous. Renovo is the home of WZYY 106.9 The Surge FM.
