This bill directs the federal government to study whether a 200-mile trail system in Puerto Rico should be officially designated as a National Scenic Trail. The proposed Puerto Rico National Scenic Trail would extend from Cabezas de San Juan Nature Reserve in Fajardo to Morrillos Peninsula in Cabo Rojo, passing through El Yunque National Forest, several mountain ranges, and southwestern coastal forests. The legislation amends the National Trails System Act to authorize this study, which would evaluate the trail's feasibility and suitability for national scenic trail status. The bill affects Puerto Rico residents and visitors interested in outdoor recreation and trail access, as well as federal land management agencies responsible for implementing such designations. No specific funding amount or completion timeline is specified in the legislation; those details would be determined through the study process itself.
