Pisgah Ski Area Trailhead Signage

Recreation and Stewardship Custom Trailhead Maps for Outdoor Enthusiasts


Green Goat Maps collaborated with the Barkeater Trails Alliance (BETA) to develop a series of trailhead signs for the Pisgah Ski Area. These signs provide clear and engaging trail information for outdoor enthusiasts, supporting safe and responsible recreation while promoting trail stewardship. The project emphasizes user-friendly design and informative content tailored to both summer and winter use.


This map highlights Mount Pisgah, a family-friendly recreation area in Saranac Lake, showcasing trails for mountain biking and multi-use activities. The trail network includes routes for various skill levels, with color-coded trails like Sanduro and Zonkers. The map emphasizes responsible recreation, trail etiquette, and collaboration with Ride With Gratitude to promote safety and respect among users. Additional sections include guidelines for multi-use trail behavior, operating hours, and environmental stewardship.

To meet BETA’s needs, Green Goat Maps was contracted to:

  • Create a detailed map of Pisgah Mountain, including trails, buildings, ski lifts, and access roads.

  • Design a locator inset map showing the geographic context of the ski area in relation to nearby landmarks.

  • Develop interpretive content for trailhead signage, emphasizing safety, stewardship, and recreational opportunities.

  • Coordinate production of the map panels for durable, outdoor-ready display.


The project delivered a comprehensive trail map with accurate, visually appealing design. Interpretive signage was developed to include safety guidelines and stewardship messaging. Digital files were created to be compatible with both web and print formats. The final product included weather-resistant map panels that were installed at key trailhead locations, ensuring longevity and usability in outdoor environments.


Challenges of This Project

A significant challenge was designing signage that balanced aesthetic appeal with practical functionality. The map needed to provide detailed trail information for diverse user groups while remaining clear and accessible. Additionally, ensuring durability for outdoor use in varying weather conditions was a critical focus. Through close collaboration with BETA, Green Goat Maps overcame these challenges and aligned the design with the organization's goals.
