South Renovo is a borough in Clinton County, Pennsylvania, United States, located on the West Branch Susquehanna River, directly across from Renovo. The population was 439 at the 2010 census, down from 557 in 2000.
Historically, the economy of the area was based on lumbering, but when the mountains of the region had been stripped of their first-growth forest, the industry collapsed. There are also deposits of bituminous coal and fire clay in the region.
Today, the area largely consists of state land in the form of state forests, state parks and game lands. The region is known as the Pennsylvania Wilds.
