from EXPLORE Act Section 121
The Departments of the Interior (DOI) and Agriculture (USDA) are seeking public input to assist with implementing provisions of the Expanding Public Lands Outdoor Recreation Experiences (EXPLORE) Act related to long-distance biking trails.
EXPLORE Act Sec. 121, Biking or Long-Distance Trails requires identification of no fewer than 10 long-distance biking trails and no fewer than 10 future trails/areas across public lands managed by DOI and USDA where there are opportunities to recognize or develop long-distance biking trails.
Recognition as a Biking on Long Distance Trail does not in and of itself change federal policy, land use designations, or authorize any new on-the-ground activity or disturbances. Any new trails or related facility construction will require site specific National Environmental Policy Act consideration.
Follow the link below to nominate existing or potential new long-distance bicycle routes. Input accepted between July 2 and August 3, 2026
