Mountain Biking

The Kingdom Trail Network is our favorite place to mountain bike, but many of the trails are walkable as well. The visitor center is in downtown East Burke behind the Northeast Kingdom Country Store. If you are looking to rent a bike, check out Village Sport Shop or East Burke Sports!

For lift-service mountain biking, Burke Mountain offers day passes and bike rentals. These trails are more downhill-focused and range from beginner to pro-level in difficulty.

If you have no interest in mountain biking, there are other options too!

JUST ADDED! An amazing disc golf course near the Wildflower Inn! Check it out...

Go for a walk along the Kingdom Trail Network!

Go for a hike or drive up Burke Mountain!

Guided horseback riding at D-N-D Stables in and around the Kingdom Trails Network. They cater to all levels of riders.

Beach volleyball courts are located across the parking lot from Mike's Tiki Bar! There are two and they are well-maintained.

There is a pickle ball court behind the Wildflower Inn, but beware, the court has seen better days!

Swim or float in the East Branch of the Passumpsic River. A popular spot is behind the Orange Rind in downtown East Burke.

Take a 30 min drive to the fjord-like Lake Willoughby and hang out and swim at the beach or take a walk, hike, or bike ride in the state forest.

Go fishing in the Passumpsic River! Not to give away secrets, but legend has it that rainbow trout are to be found at the curve in the river by the St. Johnsbury House of Pizza. The Moose River is also a good spot for Brooke trout.

Golf at St. Johnsbury Country Club. Apparently it's a hilly course, so a golf cart is recommended.

If you're willing to drive 38 minutes west or 41 minutes east you can visit two of our favorite breweries in the country. To the west is the iconic Hill Farmstead Brewery in Greensboro Bend, VT (home of some of the first and best New England IPAs) and to the east is Schilling Beer Co in Littleton, NH (home to the northeast's greatest pilsners and lagers).
