Deal of the Month

Wanna try mountain biking, but don't have a bike? No problem! Village Sport Shop Trailside has you covered this summer with 50% off walk-in bike rentals on Tuesdays and Wednesdays!

Choose from top brands including Transition, Liv and Giant. And, if you really like the bike you rent, there's even an option to buy it and make it yours for good.

VSS also partners with Blue Sky MTB to offer guided tours and lessons. Tours and lessons can be private or with a group. If you've never been mountain biking before, it's a great way to get started and learn the skills you need to enjoy the trails. For more experienced riders, it's an opportunity to hone your skills and maybe learn some new tricks. If it's your first time riding Kingdom Trails. a guided tour is a great way to get to know the trails from folks who know their way around.

Some great deals for fun on the trails!

Happy Riding!

Unpack & Unwind

Dogs are family and they need a break just as much as you do. Fortunately, there are lots of pet friendly lodging options in the area.

Hawk Rock Cabins offers a great location tucked away in the woods and just a quick drive to trails and Island Pond, Five beautiful log cabins are available with 2-4 bedrooms and fully equipped kitchens.

Wilderness Properties in East Burke is perfect for a group or family getaway. The home has 4 bedrooms and room for 10 people. Located just up the road from Burke Mountain, it features a spacious deck and large backyard for summer grilling and tossing a ball to the pup..

Not only is the Inn at Mountain View Farm home to an animal sanctuary, but they also welcome pets in select rooms and farmhouse suites. Located on over 400 acres on Darling Hill Road, the historic Inn is beautifully decorated and of course, your stay includes a full country breakfast.

If your pup prefers nights under the stars over a room at the inn, check out Burke Mountain Campground. 25 sites including 5 lean-to's are available and of course, there is direct access to the Burke Bike Park and Kingdom Trails.

Parks & Rec News

Lots of good news to share from this neck of the woods.

Congrats to Kingdom Trails on being awarded a Vermont Outdoor Recreation Economic Collaborative (VOREC) Community Grant for $74,927 to support inclusive mountain bike programming in partnership with the Kingdom East School District (KESD), Unlikely Riders, and POWERED Magazine!

KT was one of 51 new recipients for grants to boost outdoor recreation across Vermont, totaling $6.3 million! Northwoods Stewardship Center and Friends of Dog Mountain also received grant funding.

The State of Vermont just acquired 118 acres on Wheeler Mountain that will now be part of the Willoughby State Forest. The acquisition permanently secures public access to popular hiking trails and rock climbing areas.

Powers Park received a grant from the VT Community Development Program to create a plan to upgrade the park including making it more accessible to those with mobility challenges. The 18 acre park is home to a swimming pool, basketball court, tennis courts, pump track and more. They are currently seeking assistance from the public to make the plan a reality.
