Shapiro Administration Invests in Bedford County Trails to Grow Pennsylvania's $19 Billion Outdoor Recreation Economy

A new 1.7-mile connector trail is helping transform Warriors Path State Park into a regional hub for outdoor recreation - boosting local tourism and strengthening Pennsylvania's $19 billion outdoor recreation economy. Built on a rehabilitated railbed along the Huntingdon and Broad Top Rail Trail, the new section links Warriors Path to the Riddlesburg Trailhead and has already driven a 47 percent increase in park visitation compared to last year.

Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) Secretary Cindy Adams Dunn visited the park today to celebrate the milestone and highlight its role in Bedford County's growing outdoor economy.

"This connector trail is a major step in connecting people to nature and growing the outdoor recreation economy in the region," said Secretary Dunn. "Thank you to the state and local partners who saw the opportunity for Bedford County in developing a well-connected trail system."
