SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress finds the following:
(1) A key to the growth of the United States
as a world power was the opening of America’s great
heartland drained by the Ohio River and continuing
downstream to the Mississippi River and Gulf of
Mexico.
(2) The significance of this region is evident in
the fact that the War for Empire was triggered by
claims and counter-claims to the land by both the
French and the British in the 1750’s, and by the
central role that the region played in America’s
transformation from an agrarian to an industrial so-
ciety.
(3) The Paths to the Ohio traces many of these
historical transportation routes to the beginning of
the Ohio River, including the efforts of George
Washington to find a primarily water-based route
from Wills Creek (now Cumberland, Maryland) to
the Forks of the Ohio (now Pittsburgh); the route
used by the French from Lake Erie to French Creek
and down the Allegheny River to the Forks; the
route of the Pennsylvania Mainline Canal from Har-
risburg to Pittsburgh that greatly improved trans-
portation to Pittsburgh a century later; and the his-

toric railroad corridors into the region, several of
which followed for the most part these earlier routes.
(4) Many of these rail corridors are now aban-
doned and have been or are being converted into
trails for hiking and bicycling;
(5) The designation of these trails as a national
scenic trail—
(A) would offer unique opportunities for
nonmotorized transportation and recreation
that would expose trail users to the rich history
of the War for Empire and development of
transportation, coal mining, rail building and
other industries that made the United States a
rich and powerful Nation; and
(B) would give appropriate recognition to
the frontiersmen who explored the region; the
French, British and Indians who fought the
War for Empire; the pioneers and later the im-
migrants who settled the region, built the trans-
portation systems, mined the coal, poured the
steel, etc.
