        the appropriate Secretary shall manage the Trail consistent 
        with the requirements of a national recreation trail in

        is adequately informed regarding the routes open for the Trail, 
        including by appropriate signage along the Trail.
    (d) No Effect on Non-Federal Land and Interests in Land.--Nothing
