WOW!
This place is great, beautiful singletrack, nice views.
Only bad part was the car race at the campground I was staying at (Burke Mtn.)
I would pay double, no triple to ride those trails. Worth the price. If you haven't been there, GO!, you won't be
dissappointed.

Was there more rolling terrain in the woods. More climbing that we don't see here?

It rained alot on Saturday, and I did a majority of my weekend riding that day, so the pix of the other trails aren't worthy of posting (very dark).
This was my first trip were I decided to stop and take pictures during the ride. I found it hard to do, I didn't want to stop.
There were some good climbs, although not what I expected. Good mix of climbing/ descending.
Still, very nice place, the downhills were failrly technical: fast, twisty, rocky, rooty. (Exeter has more rocks and roots, but KT has elevation)
2.5 hour drive from Exeter NH, will be going back (soon I hope)
I'll try to take more pix next time.

We went the weekend before for the 1rst time. Ditto on a great place to ride!! Definetely going back!!
We did rides both weekend days. The first was up burke mtn rd (well, actually hike-a-bike up) and down a mix of singletrack & dirt roads to the village center. The trails had not many rocks, tight switchbacks, and a soft pine needle soil.
The second was the trails around the village. Trail conditions were again not many rocks, really tight switchbacks, and better scenery. The trails were hardpacked from use, but surprisingly still very narrow and nice. Some modest elevation changes, but nothing too gruesome.
Our beginers came back bruised, but still smiling. With a comfortable amount of control, pretty much any riding ability can have a great ride there. Its worth the trip.

Concur with Massmtnbiking.
All skill levels will enjoy this area. When you buy your trail pass, they will help you pick out a route per your abilities.
I saw everyone from families (rigid hybrid on the double track) to freeriders, not sure were they were headed though.
Can't wait to go again!!!
