Clinton
is located in central Massachusetts in Worcester County. It is bordered by Bolton and Berlin on the east, Boylston on the south, Sterling on the west and Lancaster on the north. The town of Clinton straddles the valley of the south branch of the Nashua River and is the site of the 4,135-acre Wachusett Reservoir, which was formed by damming the river in 1905 to provide drinking water for the city of Boston. The population of Clinton is approximately 13,000 residents and it is about 13 miles north of the town of Worcester (the second largest city in the state) and 35 miles west of historic Boston. The region surrounding Clinton is known for its natural beauty - majestic mountains, tranquil lakes and beautiful waterfalls. There are many local and state parks in the area, including Elm Park, which is the nation's oldest park, (located in the heart of Worcester County.) Outdoor activities from which to choose include hiking, bicycling, fishing, horseback riding, boating, skating and swimming. In addition, the Atlantic Ocean beaches are just a short drive from Clinton. For cultural pursuits, the nearby city of Worcester has world-renowned museums, theaters, galleries and performing arts schools. Art and history buffs will enjoy the Worcester Art Museum, New England's second-largest art museum.

Northeast Massachusetts has a humid continental climate with warm summers and cold, snowy winters. Rainfall averages 40 inches and is distributed fairly evenly throughout the year. Snowfall can exceed 100 inches in a season. Winter is cold in the northeast coastal region, but much colder further inland. Springs are usually wet and cloudy. Autumn is mild and comes earlier than other regions in the U.S. Extreme weather such as severe thunderstorms, nor'easters and hurricanes are a possibility. Hurricanes generally weaken to a tropical storm by the time they reach the state, however. A nor'easter is a winter storm with winds coming from the northeast that can bring heavy snow and strong winds.
