Kingdom Trails

Vermont’s famous flowy singletrack town.

More than 100 miles of purpose-built singletrack wind across the fields and forests of over 100 private landowners around East Burke. Riders come for smooth, flowing descents through birch and hardwood, two pump tracks, a beginner jump park and Burke Mountain’s lift-served bike park next door. It works for every level, from families on the village loops to strong riders linking all-day rides.
