While the bill has local support, many bills that only request a study never make it through the full legislative process.

Key Points

This bill asks the government to study if the Bonneville Shoreline Trail should become a national trail. The trail stretches about 280 miles from the Idaho border down to Nephi, Utah.
The trail follows the path of an ancient lake that used to cover much of the region. Right now, the trail is a mix of finished paths and gaps that need to be connected.
If the study finds the trail is a good fit, it could lead to more federal help for planning and upkeep. This would make it easier for people in Utah to use the trail for hiking and biking.
