Study whether the Bonneville Shoreline Trail can become a national scenic trail.
The problem
The Bonneville Shoreline Trail in Utah lacks official national recognition. A feasibility study is needed to determine if it meets national trail system standards.
The proposal
The bill directs the Interior Secretary to study whether the Bonneville Shoreline Trail qualifies for National Trails System designation and recommend next steps.
The impact
Utah communities, outdoor enthusiasts, and conservation groups would benefit from increased trail recognition and potential federal support for trail maintenance and development.
National designation would attract more visitors and outdoor recreation enthusiasts to the trail. This brings attention to Utah's natural features and outdoor heritage.
National Trails System designation can unlock federal grants for trail maintenance, restoration, and public access improvements. This reduces the burden on local governments.
The study promotes conservation of natural landscapes and increases outdoor recreation opportunities. This supports public health through activity and protects Utah ecosystems.
More visitors mean increased spending at local businesses like restaurants, hotels, and shops. Rural Utah communities could see economic growth from trail tourism.
The feasibility study requires federal spending on research and analysis. This uses taxpayer money that could go to other priorities.
More visitors could mean trail degradation and higher maintenance costs. Local communities may struggle with overcrowding and environmental impacts.
National designation might limit private property rights near the trail. Property owners could face new regulations or restrictions on land development.
A study is not a guarantee of designation. Communities and stakeholders might invest time and resources without getting national status.

Money from people who work there, not from the company. Not tied to this bill.
Itemized individual contributions via FEC, grouped by the employer each contributor self-reported. Companies and unions cannot contribute to federal candidates from their treasuries, so these totals are money from people who work at an employer — never from the organization itself. They are campaign contributions covering a full election cycle and are not connected to this bill.
