HR 5916 United States House · 118th Congress

Shawnee TRAILS Act

This bill requires the Secretary of Agriculture to designate and maintain at least 20% of trails in Shawnee National Forest for recreational use by e-bikes and off-highway vehicles (OHVs), including ATVs and ORVs. It mandates ongoing monitoring to ensure these trails support recreation while minimizing environmental harm and guaranteeing at least one trail remains open year-round for covered vehicles. The law directly affects forest visitors using e-bikes or OHVs and sets specific management requirements for the forest. It does not alter existing trail access rules for other vehicle types or non-recreational uses.
