Clamtown is a small, quiet community in Pennsylvania. It's not officially a town with its own government, but it's a place where people live. You can find it along Route 443 in West Penn Township. The Little Schuylkill River flows nearby, forming its northern and western edges. Clamtown is split between two different post offices, New Ringgold and Tamaqua, so it has two different zip codes: 17960 and 18252. If you need to call someone there, the phone area code is 570.

Discovering Clamtown

Clamtown is a charming little village nestled among rolling, forested mountains. A small creek winds its way right through the village, eventually flowing into the Little Schuylkill River.

Nature's Beauty in Clamtown

Just outside the village, you'll find a small lake often called "Little Schuylkill Lake." This lake is a great spot for fishing, and you might even catch some trout there! People think this lake might have been made by humans a long time ago because there's an old, unused train station right next to it.
