Bonneville Shoreline Trail Advancement Act

Introduced April 15, 2021

AI-Generated Summary

Updated February 8, 2026 at 1:41 AM UTC

The Bonneville Shoreline Trail Advancement Act changes the boundaries of several wilderness areas in Utah’s Uinta‑Wasatch‑Cache National Forest. It adds about 326 acres to the Mount Olympus Wilderness and removes small parcels from the Mount Naomi, Mount Olympus, Twin Peaks, and Lone Peak wilderness areas, putting those lands under regular forest management. The changes affect federal lands and the agencies that manage them in Utah.

Key Provisions

  • Adds roughly 326.27 acres of forest land to the Mount Olympus Wilderness as shown on the Bonneville Shoreline Trail Legislative Map.
  • Removes about 11.17 acres from the Mount Naomi Wilderness, about 197.4 acres from the Mount Olympus Wilderness, about 9.8 acres from the Twin Peaks Wilderness, and about 107.9 acres from the Lone Peak Wilderness, transferring those lands to Uinta‑Wasatch‑Cache National Forest management.
  • Amends the Utah Wilderness Act of 1984 and the Endangered American Wilderness Act of 1978 to reflect the new boundary changes.
  • Requires the Bonneville Shoreline Trail Legislative Map to be kept on file with the Forest Service and allows the Secretary of Agriculture to make technical corrections to the map.
