Includes whereas clauses. Sets out NCGA findings related to the proposed South Fork Passage Trail corridor.

Authorizes the Department of Natural and Cultural Resources (DNCR) to add the South Fork Passage Trail (Trail) in Catawba, Lincoln, and Gaston counties to the State Parks System as a State trail. Describes where the Trail will be located. Requires DNCR to support, promote, encourage, and facilitate the establishment of trail segments on State Park lands and on lands of other federal, State, local, and private landowners. Sets out which laws, rules, and policies apply on segments of the Trail that cross property controlled by agencies or owners other than the DNCR's Division of Parks and Recreation. Exempts the Trail from the requirement in GS 143B-135.54(b) that additions be accompanied by adequate appropriations for land acquisition, development, and operations, but allows the State to receive donations of appropriate land and purchase other needed lands for the Trail with existing funds in the Land and Water Fund, the Parks and Recreation Trust Fund, the Complete the Trails Fund, the federal Land and Water Conservation Fund, and other available sources of funding.
