The resolution urges Congress to designate the Buckeye Trail as a National Scenic Trail, highlighting the trail's significance as a long-distance hiking route that spans approximately 1,454 miles across diverse landscapes in Ohio. Established in 1959 and managed by the Buckeye Trail Association, the trail offers unique recreational opportunities and showcases the state's natural beauty, cultural heritage, and ecosystems. The resolution emphasizes the economic benefits that such a designation could bring through increased tourism and community engagement.

The National Park Service is currently conducting a feasibility study to evaluate the Buckeye Trail's alignment with the criteria for National Scenic Trail designation, which includes public access and conservation of the trail's unique characteristics. Upon completion of the study, the resolution calls for Congress to consider the findings and ultimately designate the Buckeye Trail as a National Scenic Trail, thereby enhancing its recognition and support. The resolution also mandates that copies be sent to relevant congressional leaders and Ohio's media to raise awareness of this initiative.
