Network Capacity Study Visioning Survey Results

April 8, 2020

The public's vision for Kingdom Trails and local quality of life are the driving force in this study.

To kick off the study and collect public input, KTA hosted a Visioning Open House in Burke and an online survey for residents and users unable to attend. The open house and survey received an outpouring of responses, with over 200 people attending the open house and over 950 people taking the online survey.

Open house attendees and survey respondents shared their existing and desired future experience with Kingdom Trails, high priority goals for the project, issues they've experienced, and ideas to improve the experience. Key takeaways of the results are available on the Kingdom Trails Network Capacity Study site under the Visioning tab. The full results document is available at this link.

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.
