KTA Trail Access Updates
March 9, 2020
Time for a new favorite loop!
As you may have heard, there is restricted access to mountain bikes on a portion of the Darling Hill section of the KTA network. While this does change some of the routes you've been accustomed to over the years, there are still plenty of trails available for a great ride! And this may bring an opportunity to think outside the box and get creative to customize a new favorite loop.
The restricted access to the traditionally Fatbike groomed trails on the east side of Darling Hill, offered KTA the opportunity to expand our winter grooming operations to a whole new section of the network in the White School sector. This area has lent itself very well to the new winter use, and the trails have become better and better over the course of the season! If you like Sky Dive to Swan Dive in the summer time, you're gonna love it on your Fatbike in the snow!
Below is the current winter map. During the winter time, KTA manages and maintains a smaller section of trails than during the summer months when the network expands. Trails that have been removed from the winter map have been done so at the request of the landowners, whom we respect above all else. We ask that you abide by the landowner's requests and refrain from accessing the summer trails by fatbike in the winter. Even one person who thinks the restriction doesn't apply to them can create ripples that can have lasting negative effects on our network for this season and in the future.
Please help us to be stewards of the natural resources on private land by educating anyone you may come across. We are always working to develop new trails to enjoy. We ask you to follow the rules of the trail and help KTA maintain a positive impact on our community.

From the Executive Director: Hi Everyone! Well, July has certainly brought the heat, but luckily here at KT there are plenty of shady trails to choose from. Speaking of trails...we are opening a new one this weekend: "Cheddar Slice" connects the bottom of Butter Tubs to the bottom of the Dashney Loop, creating a roughly 4-mile family-friendly loop and adding another way to connect the Moose Alley and Dashney zones. Connectivity has been a big focus this year, and there is more to come later this season. Thank you to all our generous Landowners, members and supporters. Have a wonderful weekend and a very Happy Fourth of July!! -Georgia Celebrate the Fourth with Us!
