Kingdom Trails Association

In the Summer of 2018 an expansion network of mountain bike trails were built by KTA on the property owned by Walter and Winny Norman. The network of trails called Moose Haven have a trail-head located adjacent to East Haven's municipal buildings. The trails consist of a primary fire road (Haul Road) that serves as the climbing trail (approx. 700 feet of vertical) with several flowy, gravity fed trails that extend off of it. Stormin Norman and Black Bear are the longest and most commonly ridden trails of Moose Haven; they feature large berms, natural features and several jumps, gaps, and rollers. The terrain is focused for primarily advanced riders, but can be enjoyed by intermediate riders.
