Fun Things to Do
East Haven is a great spot for outdoor adventures, especially if you love mountain biking!
Kingdom Trails for Mountain Biking
In 2018, the Kingdom Trails Association (KTA) built a cool network of mountain bike trails here. These trails are called Moose Haven. You can find the start of these trails right next to East Haven's town buildings.
The trails include a main "Haul Road" that goes uphill. From there, you can ride down several exciting, flowy trails. "Stormin Norman" and "Black Bear" are two of the most popular trails. They have big turns (berms), natural bumps, and even jumps and rollers. While these trails are best for experienced riders, intermediate riders can also have a lot of fun here.
