Bill > S1135

This bill amends the National Trails System Act to direct the Secretary of the Interior to conduct a feasibility study for designating the Bonneville Shoreline Trail as a national trail. Specifically, the bill adds a new provision to the existing law that describes the Bonneville Shoreline Trail as a trail system extending approximately 280 miles from the Idaho-Utah border to Nephi, Utah. The trail follows the Bonneville bench, which is a geological formation created by Lake Bonneville, an ancient prehistoric lake that existed during the last ice age. By adding this language to the National Trails System Act, the bill initiates a formal process to evaluate whether the trail meets the criteria for national trail designation, which could potentially lead to federal recognition, protection, and potential future funding or development support for this historic and scenic trail route.
