Trail Updates

June 9, 2022

May 2022

It's hard to believe but technically summer isn't even here yet! Although we would've liked more snow and precipitation this winter, the long dry spring did give our early season skeleton crew and the many, many volunteers that donated their time, a good long period to get the trails cleared for opening. We are so grateful for the numerous volunteers that have helped out on the trails for a variety of trail projects, from prepping for opening to shaping the Dashney Loop switchbacks, and three days each of 14 BMA students out installing one of the new trails!

May trail projects completed:

Full system season opening maintenance work; drainage improvements, blowdown clearing, benching and berm reshaping
New School hardening & realignment

As of now, we are super excited to be up and running with our full Trail Crew of 10, so we can really start to "dig" in on a few of this summer's big projects that will include:

2 new trails (currently in progress) that will be singletrack connections to get more trail users off the roads.
The final phase of the Moose Haven Connection which will allow for an epic loop with virtually no road riding!

Please plan to join us for the next Volunteer Work Day on June 25th!

Please remember to Ride With Gratitude and single file while on the roads.
See ya on the trails!

Vermont State Treasurer, Mike Pieciak, speaks at the 2025 Outdoor Recreation Day at the Statehouse

KT is taking action—on the trails and in 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.
