The Sugar Valley Watershed Association (SVWA) is a Pennsylvania Non-Profit organization comprised primarily of citizens living in or near Sugar Valley, a two-mile wide by twenty-mile long limestone valley surrounded by sandstone ridges along the southern edge of Clinton County, PA.
Our area of stewardship encompasses the lands draining into Big Fishing Creek, from its headwaters beyond the eastern edge of Greene Township, to the western boundary of Logan Township.
This stretch of High Quality designated waters flows through a predominantly farming community populated by many of the same families that farmed the land when it was carved out of Centre County in 1839. Beginning in the early 1970s, the valley’s high quality soils attracted Amish families from Lancaster, who now own a significant number of farms in the valley.
The southern end of the Association’s boundaries include trophy trout waters considered by some internationally known sportsmen’s organizations to be among the top ten streams in the country.
