S. 3720 — Bay Area Ridge National Scenic Trail Feasibility Study Act

This section states congressional findings that the Bay Area Ridge Trail is a 550-mile scenic nonmotorized multi-use trail (with 415 miles completed) located near urban areas, providing access to ridgelines, diverse environments, and sites including the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, Golden Gate Bridge, and connecting trails such as the Bay Trail.

This section directs the Secretary of the Interior to complete and submit to Congress, within one year of enactment, a feasibility study on designating the Bay Area Ridge National Scenic Trail—a 550-mile multi-use trail along ridgelines surrounding the San Francisco Bay Area and connecting over 75 parks and open spaces—as a national scenic trail. The study must be conducted in consultation with the Bay Area Ridge Trail Council and each federal and state agency administering land along the trail.
