Clinton Township surrounds the Town of Clinton and extends across a varied landscape of neighborhoods, commercial areas, farms, reservoirs, and wooded land. Spruce Run Recreation Area and other open spaces contribute to the township’s balance of development and outdoor recreation. Interstate 78 and Route 31 form its principal regional connections, with local roads reaching Lebanon, High Bridge, and northern Hunterdon County. Hunterdon County occupies west-central New Jersey between the Delaware River and the state’s central transportation corridors. Rolling farmland, wooded ridges, historic villages, river towns, reservoirs, and low-density townships give the county a distinctive rural and small-town character. Together, the setting and local development patterns give Clinton Township a recognizable place within Hunterdon County. The township’s mix of neighborhoods, civic uses, business activity, open space, and roads defines its day-to-day landscape.
