The bill, S. 557, is a Senate Resolution introduced in the South Carolina General Assembly to officially recognize June 2025 as "South Carolina Trails Month." The resolution aims to encourage residents to utilize the state's extensive network of trails for walking, cycling, and hiking, highlighting the numerous health, educational, and social benefits associated with their use. It emphasizes the connection these trails provide to South Carolina's natural beauty, including its mountains, lakes, swamps, and beaches, and promotes the idea that engaging with these outdoor spaces can lead to improved physical and mental health.

Additionally, the resolution notes the collaborative efforts of various federal agencies, including the U.S. Department of the Interior and the U.S. Department of Agriculture, in supporting National Trails Day on June 7, 2025, and expresses South Carolina's commitment to a similar initiative. By recognizing this month, the Senate aims to foster community pride, strengthen social ties, and enhance the overall quality of life in South Carolina through increased outdoor activity and engagement with nature.
