	Buckeye Trail - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Buckeye Trail is a long-distance trail that loops around the state of Ohio.
		Road portions of the trail are gradually being relocated to separate trail.
		The North Country Trail coincides with the Buckeye Trail for a large part of its route, and the American Discovery Trail also coincides with it through southern Ohio.

	Marshall County, Iowa - American Discovery Trail (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The American Discovery Trail is being proposed as the first of a new category of long-distance trails that will give equal recognition to the significance of urban and metropolitan trails that have developed mostly over the past 25 years, and to backcountry trails.
		There is a volunteer coordinator in each ADT state who leads the ongoing effort to refine the route, incorporate new trails into the route and to promote and sign the trail in their respective state.
		The development of the ADT has been funded by the members of the American Hiking Society and the American Discovery Trail Society, and through the financial and promotional support of suppliers and retailers in the outdoor equipment industry.

	June 10, 1997: Testimony:Reese Lukei, Coordinator, American Discovery Trail (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The route of the ADT was developed through the cooperative efforts of citizens working with federal, state and local land managers, state and local economic development and tourism commissions, state and local planning and transportation departments, and state departments of natural resources through each states' trails coordinator.
		The American Discovery Trail has generated a nationwide constituency of grassroots groups, private sector businesses, and local, state and federal agencies to establish a route which is at once nationally and locally significant as it weaves its way through communities large and small, and through national, state and local parks and forests.
		It is a trail that winds through forests, mountains, communities large and small, and has involved a large number of active volunteers and partnerships with trails organizations, local and national businesses, and a hugh number of local, state and federal agencies.

	STATEMENT OF KATHERINE H
		The American Discovery Trail (ADT) was proposed in 1990 as a continuous mid-continent, coast-to-coast trail to link metropolitan areas to the nation's major long-distance trails, as well as to shorter local and regional trails.
		When that trail was established as a national scenic trail in 1968, it was well-supported by a vibrant nonprofit organization, the Appalachian Trail Conference, with thousands of members and decades of trail-building and maintaining experience.
		We strongly support the amendment to the National Trails System Act in S. 734, which insists that one of the criteria for establishing a national discovery trail is that there already exists at least one competent, volunteer-based organization for the proposed trail, backed up by state and local public support.

	American Discovery Trail passes Senate
		National discovery trails should provide for the conservation and enjoyment of significant natural, cultural, and historic resources associated with each trail and should be so located as to represent metropolitan, urban, rural, and back country regions of the Nation.
		The trail is generally described in Volume 2 of the National Park Service feasibility study dated June 1995 which shall be on file and available for public inspection in the office of the Director of the National Park Service, Department of the Interior, the District of Columbia.
		The American Discovery Trail shall be administered by the Secretary of the Interior in cooperation with at least one competent trailwide volunteer-based organization and other affected federal land managing agencies, and state and local governments, as appropriate.

	American Discovery Trail Bill Reintroduced in Congress (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		H.R. 588, as the bill is now known, would amend the original National Trails System Act of 1968 to create a new category of long-distance trails and would authorize the ADT as the first trail in that class.
		H.R. 588, which proposes the National Discovery Trails Act of 1997, was originally co-sponsored by 36 House members, but the number has since climbed past 40 as other Representatives have added their names to the list.
		An important attribute of the proposed Discovery class of trails is that they traverse major metropolitan areas such as Denver and Cincinnati and connect them with trails in more remote, wilderness areas.

	American Discovery Trail: California
		From Antioch the ADT follows a series of trails to the summit of Mt. Diablo, through the city of Walnut Creek and Brione and Tilden Parks in the East Bay Hills to the University of California campus at Berkeley.
		On these trails the ADT passes along Bolinas Ridge, crosses Highway 1 and the San Andreas earthquake fault zone and finally follows the shoreline on the Coast Trail to Limantour Beach on the Pacific Ocean.
		Total length of the trail in California is 380 miles and consists of nine segments.

	June 10, 1997 Testimony: Robert C. Joslin, Deputy Chief, National Forest Service (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The American Discovery Trail, upon designation, would be the longest trail in the system covering over 6,000 miles, reaching from Point Reyes National Seashore in California across the United States to Henlopen State Park and the Atlantic Ocean in Delaware.
		The success of a long-distance trail such as the American Discovery Trail is dependent on strong state and local support in conjunction with public and private partners.
		It is inherently inconsistent to charge the Secretary with the authority to administer the trail and then relegate that Secretary's role in the essential planning to that of a consultant.

	STATEMENT OF NATIONAL PARK SERVICE, DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
		Chairman, thank you for the opportunity to present the Department of the Interior’s views on H.R. This bill would amend the National Trails System Act by adding an additional category of trail known as the national discovery trail and by designating the American Discovery Trail as the first national discovery trail.
		We do believe that the National Trails System can be improved at this time by adding this new category of discovery trails, which links America’s cities together, opens trails to a variety of users (as determined by local conditions), and relies on a relationship of equals between the Federal government and a nonprofit partner.
		The new category of national discovery trails would further the goals of the National Trails System in several significant ways—ways that help update the system to reflect current popular and political realities.

	Hearing on H.R. 588 and H.R. 1513, to amend the National Trails System Act (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The trail largely uses existing trails and trail systems, and you have heard a fair amount of testimony already, that only a handful of private parcels will be authorized, or will be involved, and that an underlying trail exists already, as do voluntary agreements with those private property owners.
		Trails are a key ingredient to wonderful outdoor, recreational and scenic experience, which is why over 30 million recreation visitor-days are spent each year in trails in the national forests.
		The trail is a 6,356 mile long route that links a patchwork of trails—35 percent existing, the others newly created—that will serve as a connector between the east and west coasts of the United States and inspire interest in outdoors by providing new and better places to explore nature.
