The Inn at Burklyn Almost any posh hotel or resort offers valet parking so guests can rest assured that their BMWs, Land Rovers or McLarens will remain safe and sound. But how many luxury lodgings also offer a primo spot for your horse, or a tune-up station for your mountain bike? In Vermont s Northeast Kingdom, there s at least one: the Inn at Burklyn. Opened in August 2020 following an extensive renovation, the 14-room bed-and-breakfast in East Burke offers just about the swankiest digs this side of the Connecticut River. Some of that is due to the deluxe amenities, including gourmet dining, an on-demand personal barber and horse stables. There s also easy access to the Kingdom Trails mountain biking network, rated the best in North America by

After a year-long analysis, consultants hired by Kingdom Trails Association (KTA) recommend building a new welcome center in East Burke Village and creating new access points and parking for its popular 80-mile trail network.
KTA, a nonprofit organization, manages a spiderweb of trails around the village of East Burke, extending west into Lyndon on both sides of Darling Hill Road and east into East Haven. The network relies on the generosity of over 90 private landowners, who allow trails on their properties without compensation. A decade of rapid growth led to stress on residents, landowners, and infrastructure. In December 2019, three landowners along Darling Hill decided to no longer allow bike access on their properties. The restricted land totals hundreds of acres and contains some of the networkâs most popular and beginner trails.

LYNDON â Seven miles of trails in the heart of the popular Kingdom Trails network have been secured after a major community effort, the Vermont Land Trust and Kingdom Trail Association announced. The Kingdom Trail Association today acquired 271 acres on Darling Hill Road, and conserved the land to ensure it remains undeveloped and open to the public in the future.
Stretching from Darling Hill Road to the East Branch of the Passumpsic River, the land has sweeping views of Burke Mountain and includes trails leading to Heavenâs Bench, a favorite rest stop in the 100-mile trail network. When a key parcel here went up for sale in 2019, the future of these beloved trails, and surrounding scenic meadows and forest was at risk.
