                     RECOGNIZING NATIONAL TRAIL DAY

  (Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize 
National Trail Day and the amazing trails across my district.
  The Pine Creek Rail Trail, located in Lycoming and Tioga Counties, is 
held as one of the 10 best places to take a bike tour.
  The Allegheny River and Samuel Justus Trails pass through Clarion and 
Venango Counties and run through the heart of the Oil Heritage Region.
  The Great Shamokin Path was once the route used by Native American 
Tribes and is in Armstrong County.
  The Redbank Valley Rail Trail was named the Pennsylvania Trail of the 
Year in 2020 and crosses through Armstrong, Clarion, and Jefferson 
Counties.
  Traversing Clarion, Elk, Forest, and McKean Counties is the Knox and 
Kane Rail Trail. This 74-mile trail is full of scenic trailways in and 
around the Kinzua Bridge State Park to Clarion Junction.
  In McKean County, part of the Knox and Kane Rail Trail is the Mount 
Jewett to Kinzua Bridge Trail, which was recently awarded Pennsylvania 
Trail of the Year in 2023.
  Mr. Speaker, this National Trail Day, I encourage you to get outside 
and explore the trails in your area.
