O'Reilly's Backyard is a Blast!

September 25, 2020

The skills area on Darling Hill gets a revamp.

O'Reilly's Backyard - this summer the skills area behind the Wildflower Inn just got a major overhaul with all new trails and upgrades to existing trails and features. This revamped zone has machine built flow trails, skill building features to progress in bridge riding, drops, rock gardens, narrow trees, and everything in between to help bring your riding skills to the next level.

Named after longtime landowners, Jim and Mary O'Reilly, each trail is named after their children and we are so grateful for their support over the years and can't think of a better way to honor them.

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.
