Kingdom Trails has been around for fifteen years. This small grassroots organization, now maintains over 100 miles of trails. The trails are laid out by skiers so it's similar to glade skiing on a bike, fast but smooth. Their singletrack winds through fields, forests, along streams, near working sugar houses and farms.
I wasn't surprised when Bike Magazine awarded Kingdom Trails the Best Trail Network in North America and it's flagship trail " Sidewinder" won "Best Flow".
Kingdom Trails is located on mostly private land. Local land owners have granted Kingdom Trails permission to use their land. The Kingdom Trails map is great and highly detailed. The trails are rated so everyone (beginner to expert) can locate the best trails for their ability. The employees and/or volunteers that make up Kingdom Trails are the single best source for where to ride. Simply stop in the office and introduce yourself. They'll be more than happy to point you in the right direction.
One great place for kids of all ages is the pump track in the village. This bike park has all the features for fun and learning; berms, rollers, dirt tables, bumps and jumps in a small field down by the river.
For ten bucks a day or $50 for a season pass, this is New England's best "natural amusement park" you can find. The trails leave right from the village and you can ride the super smooth trails on Darling Hill. For more of a challenge there are trails on Burke Mountain as well. Some specific trails I recommend are "Coronary Bypass",
"Dead Moose Alley", "Sidewinder", "TapNdie" and "Kitchel" which is the the "swoopiest" (don't know if that is a word or not) but trust me when I say it is the "swoopiest" trail I've ever ridden. Did I mention it is smooth? Just to clarify Kitchel = swoopy and smooth...is that clear as mud?

My suggestion...get out of the office, kill your television, pack your bags and go ride Kingdom Trails! Trust me when I say...YOU WILL LOVE IT!
