Enhancing Access and Engagement Trail Signage for Cobble Hill Trail and Northwood School
Green Goat Maps collaborated with the Adirondack Land Trust and Northwood School to design a kiosk map for Cobble Hill Trail. The project aimed to enhance trail accessibility, promote recreational engagement and provide essential information to visitors. The resulting kiosk integrates informative content, wayfinding elements, and educational material to enrich the experience of trail users while supporting conservation goals.

To meet the needs of the Adirondack Land Trust, Northwood School, and trail visitors, Green Goat Maps was contracted to:
Develop a detailed base map of Cobble Hill Trail, incorporating trails, topography, accessibility features, and points of interest.
Create interpretive content highlighting conservation efforts, recreational guidelines, and the history of Cobble Hill.
Design a visually engaging kiosk panel that integrates the map, interpretive content, and illustrations.
Coordinate with printing vendors to ensure the production of a durable and weather-resistant kiosk panel.
The project delivered a high-quality kiosk panel featuring a detailed trail map, accessibility highlights, and interpretive content emphasizing conservation and safety. The design incorporates weather-resistant materials to withstand outdoor conditions and ensures durability. The kiosk also includes optional features like infographics and illustrations to enhance its educational value.
Challenges of This Project
A key challenge was designing a kiosk that balanced detailed cartographic information with interpretive content while maintaining clarity and visual appeal. The panel had to cater to diverse audiences, including students and visitors of varying experience levels. Additionally, aligning the content with the goals of Northwood School and the Adirondack Land Trust required effective collaboration and multiple revisions.
