Bill Summary

A BILL To amend the National Trails System Act to direct the Secretary of the Interior to conduct a study on the feasibility of designating the Bonneville Shoreline Trail.

AI Summary

This bill amends the National Trails System Act to direct the Secretary of the Interior to conduct a feasibility study on the Bonneville Shoreline Trail, a proposed trail system that would extend approximately 280 miles from the Idaho-Utah border to Nephi, Utah. The trail would follow the Bonneville bench, which is a geographical feature created by the prehistoric Lake Bonneville, a massive ancient lake that covered much of what is now Utah during the last ice age. By adding this specific trail to the National Trails System Act, the bill initiates an official study to evaluate the potential for formally designating the Bonneville Shoreline Trail as a recognized national trail, which could eventually lead to its protection, maintenance, and development as a recreational and historical resource. The study will help determine the trail's viability, potential environmental and historical significance, and suitability for inclusion in the national trail system.
