Trailhead Kiosks on Jackrabbit Ski Trail

Five Location-Specific Signs for a Regional Trail System

Overview

The Jackrabbit Ski Trail crosses a varied landscape with multiple roadside access points, private land relationships, and different local trail conditions. Barkeater Trails Alliance needed trailhead signage that could provide local orientation while reinforcing common safety, stewardship, and Leave No Trace messages across the system. Green Goat Maps developed a coordinated family of five trailhead signs.

Scope of Work

Green Goat Maps was contracted to create a base map with trails, land-use boundaries, trailheads, and landmarks; develop stewardship and safety concepts with BETA; create illustrations and interpretive text; customize layouts for five trailhead locations; and prepare durable outdoor signage.

Key Deliverables

The completed system includes a shared base map, shaded relief, custom illustrations, educational content, and location-specific pop-out maps. Each panel responds to its trailhead while retaining the visual language of the larger system.

Challenges & Solutions

The five locations required different local information, but designing them independently would have created an inconsistent visitor experience. Green Goat Maps established a common information framework and then customized only the geographic and interpretive elements that changed from site to site.

Results & Client Value

BETA gained a recognizable trailhead system that supports navigation and reinforces common stewardship messages across multiple access points.
