This designation would provide federal recognition and protection for the trail, as well as access to funding and resources for its development and maintenance. Overall, the Puerto Rico National Scenic Trail Study Act aims to explore the possibility of creating a scenic trail in Puerto Rico that would promote conservation, recreation, and tourism while celebrating the unique natural and cultural heritage of the island.
