Scarper Ridge Golden Gate National Recreation Area Boundary Adjustment Act

The Scarper Ridge Golden Gate National Recreation Area Boundary Adjustment Act proposes to expand the official boundaries of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area (GGNRA) in California. Specifically, the bill aims to incorporate approximately 896 acres of land known as the Scarper Ridge property, located in San Mateo County. This land is adjacent to the Rancho Corral de Tierra area, which is already managed by the National Park Service.

If enacted, the bill would authorize the National Park Service to acquire and manage this additional territory. Proponents suggest the expansion would help protect local biodiversity, including threatened and endangered species, and preserve scenic coastal vistas. For the public, the adjustment is intended to improve outdoor recreation by connecting existing public lands and expanding the network of hiking trails available to residents and visitors in the San Francisco Bay Area.
