Trail Updates
June 9, 2021
May 2021
The summer is off and running and we are excited to have the full trail crew on board as of this week. Now we're really gonna jam!
- Much needed revamp of the village pump track!
- Bridging on Kirby Connector over wet areas.
- New School trail realignment by landowner request
- 1/4 Mile White School hardening and drainage improvements that make the trail:
- More inclusive to adaptive riders
- More sustainable with less bridges to maintain and allowed for better drainage.
- Difficulty rating consistent from end to end.
- Tie in with New School to make it part of a 6.5 mile beginner loop from town.
- Much improved fat bike grooming
We would like to share a special thank you to KT Landowner Al Beaupre who donated machine work time and material on a section of the New School Trail on his property. We are honored to be given access to the properties on the Kingdom Trail network and it is beyond words to also receive time, energy and resources towards the KTA mission from generous landowners as well.
Road Work on East Darling Hill will begin June 25 for widening the road. This will lightly effect the trails but no access will change.
The next Volunteer Work Day is scheduled for June 26th, and sponsored by Lawson's Finest Liquids!

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!
