Adds a roughly 287-mile scenic, nonmotorized route through parts of Georgia, Tennessee, and North Carolina to the National Trails System and directs the Secretary of Agriculture to complete a feasibility study, in consultation with interested organizations, and send that study to Congress within one year of enactment. The bill formalizes the trail’s status in federal law as a candidate national scenic trail and starts a one-year federal review process led by the Department of Agriculture.
Read twice and referred to the Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry.
