Chers voisins du Nord

Vous êtes toujours les bienvenus à Kingdom Trails

You are always welcome on Kingdom Trails

Chers voisins du Nord,


Nous joignons nos voix à celles de nos amis de Jay Peak et des nombreuses entreprises et communautés du Northeast Kingdom qui chérissent notre connexion transfrontalière, afin de faire savoir aux sportifs canadiens qu'ils sont toujours les bienvenus à Kingdom Trails.


Vous n'êtes pas de simples visiteurs, vous faites partie de la famille KT. Votre présence est depuis longtemps un élément essentiel de ce qui rend ce réseau de sentiers si spécial. Nos panneaux et nos bulletins d'information électroniques sont disponibles en français et en anglais parce que nous savons à quel point vous aimez cet endroit - et nous vous aimons en retour.


Ensemble, nous avons surmonté des défis changeants, des pandémies, des restrictions de voyage et des fluctuations économiques. Autant de forces qui échappent à notre contrôle. Malgré tout, une chose est restée inchangée : le lien fort que nous partageons, enraciné dans notre amour du plein air, des sensations fortes et de la camaraderie en sentiers.


Nous comprenons que le contexte actuel présente des défis qui rendent le voyage vers le sud plus compliqué qu'il ne devrait l'être. Nous aimerions que ce soit plus facile, que rien ne s'interpose entre vous et les sentiers qui vous sont chers. Sachez que nous apprécions chaque kilomètre parcouru et que nous attendons avec impatience ceux qui restent à parcourir. Nos sentiers restent ouverts et vous aurez toujours votre place parmi nous.


Comme nous le rappelle le code de conduite de Roulons Avec Gratitude, « Prenez soin des autres ».


Nous prenons soin de vous,

L'équipe KT, vos amis du Sud

Dear Neighbors to the North,


Joining our voices with our friends at
Jay Peak and the many Northeast Kingdom businesses and communities who cherish our cross-border connection, we want our Canadian trail users to know you are always welcome at Kingdom Trails.


You are not just visitors; you are part of the KT Family. Your presence has long been a vital piece of what makes this trail network so special. Our signs and e-newsletters appear in both French and English because we recognize how much you love this place—and we love you right back.


Together, we’ve weathered shifting challenges, pandemics, travel restrictions, and economic fluctuations. All forces beyond our control. Yet through it all, one thing has remained unchanged: the strong bond we share, rooted in our love for the outdoors, the thrill of the ride, and the camaraderie of the trails.


We understand that the current landscape presents challenges that make traveling south more complicated than it should be. We wish it were easier, that nothing stood between you and the trails you hold dear. Please know how much we appreciate every kilomètre we’ve shared and how much we look forward to the ones still ahead. Our trails remain open, and you will always have a place here with us.


As the Ride with Gratitude Code of Conduct reminds us, “
Care for Others.”

We care for you,

The KT Team, your friends to the South


Vermont State Treasurer, Mike Pieciak, speaks at the 2025 Outdoor Recreation Day at the Statehouse
By Abby Long February 13, 2025
KT is taking action—on the trails and in the Statehouse! This 2025 Legislative Session, KT is teaming up with other amazing trail organizations through the Vermont Trails & Greenway Council, to advocate for H.147 a bill to establish the Recreational Trails Compensation Study. Why does this matter? Vermont’s outdoor recreation economy generates $2.1B annually, nearly 5% of the state’s GDP, that's 2nd in the nation after Hawaii (Go VT!) KT alone drives $10M in economic impact annually. Therefore, the state must recognize and incentivize these generous private landowners, including the 106 who make KT possible and allow public access to trails.
