About Hawk Run
Hawk Run is a quiet, small-town community tucked along Moshannon Creek in central Pennsylvania. With fewer than 500 residents, it offers a peaceful rural setting surrounded by the rolling, wooded hills of Clearfield County. Daily life here is relaxed and slow-paced, though you are never far from conveniences. Pennsylvania Route 53 runs right through town, making it easy to drive just three miles south into neighboring Philipsburg for groceries, dining, and local services.
Like many communities in the region, Hawk Run has deep roots in Pennsylvania's historic coal and lumber industries. You can still see that heritage in neighborhood landmarks like St. John the Baptist Byzantine Catholic Church, which was founded by early mining families around the turn of the twentieth century. Today, it appeals to anyone looking for an affordable, close-knit neighborhood with plenty of quiet space and quick road access to larger towns across Clearfield and Centre counties.
