Winter Trail Network Update

December 20, 2019

Looking forward to this winter!

Kingdom Trails would like to once again express a deep appreciation for all the landowners who make up the KTA network. It is important for all to remember that our trails exist solely because of them and the access they allow on their private land. This is a privilege, not a right, that our organization, community, and trail users cherish for its recreational opportunities, social and health benefits and economic boost. We must always show them the utmost respect, exemplify ideal trail etiquette, and gratitude for this gift.

 

We have seen the outpouring of comments and concerns on social media in response to our recent news and we thank you all as we are listening and learning. We understand this is a time of change, but make no mistake KTA is alive and well, with our entire network of trails still to enjoy! We are continuing to maintain and build trails to carry out our mission and provide the incredible trail experience all users have come to love, while also understanding and striving to amend the concerns of our landowners and community.


This year we celebrated our 25th Anniversary and we are so excited for the next 25 years. Especially as our winter season is upon us! We finally have a hardy snow base and we will be ready to open for winter activity Saturday, December 21st! Trail conditions will be consistently updated at kingdomtrails.org through TrailHUB. As usual, KTA winter operations will be at the KTA Winter Welcome Center on Darling Hill at 2079 Darling Hill Rd. Lyndonville, VT, next to the stunning Wildflower Inn.

 

Fatbiking 

Of course, we will continue to offer our world renowned groomed fatbike trails on the Southwest and Southeast ends of Darling Hill as well as Uptown, Kitchel and Herbs, an awesome 13 miles. Plus, new this year, we will be grooming the White School area of the trail network, adding another 7 miles for fatbiking to enjoy! 

 

Nordic Skiing & Snowshoeing

All winter trails will be open to snowshoes and Nordic skiing. Nordic operations will remain the same as past years as KTA will continue to groom 12 KM on the Northwest side of Darling Hill for classic and skate skiing, plus we welcome skiing and snowshoeing on all fatbike trails.

 

Winter Events are all a go!

July E-Newsletter

By The KT Team • July 6, 2026
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! As America celebrates its 250th anniversary, we invite you to celebrate with us throughout the month of July. If you're riding on Saturday, July 4, be sure to stop by our newly refreshed Welcome Center! We'll be serving complimentary cookies and lemonade throughout the day—a small way of celebrating the holiday and welcoming riders, families, and visitors to Kingdom Trails. Later in the month, join us at Lyndonville's Stars & Stripes Celebration on Saturday, July 18. The celebration begins with the 10:00 a.m. parade, followed by the festival, where you'll find the Kingdom Trails tent.
