Signage Project

Mission:  (1) Promote safety during trail use through awareness, education and instruction. (2) Develop and promote stewardship, restoration and maintenance projects for trails.

Project Dates: August - December 2015

Summary:  In 2014 Island Trails Network received a grant from the Alaska Recreational Trails Program (RTP) to acquire sign-making equipment and begin implementing a uniform and cost-effective system informational and directional signage throughout the 368-mile trail system of the Kodiak Island Borough.  The signage is intended to encourage safety of trail users, to encourage responsible trail use, and to more formally designate existing trails that may have obscure or conflicting names.  

As part of a demonstration component of the project, 96 signs were installed throughout the Kodiak road system including Jack and Lee Lakes (22 signs), Russian Ridge (24 signs), Rotary Park (20 signs), and Anton Larsen Bay trails (14 signs), Kashevaroff Mountain, Island Lake Creek Trail, Mill Bay Beach, Mill Bay Park, White Sands Beach, Spruce Cape, North Sister Mountain and Pasagshak Point.

Funding Partners: State of Alaska Recreational Trails Program (RTP), Kodiak Rotary, Alaska State Employees Association

In-kind Partners: Kodiak Island Borough, City of Kodiak, St. Innocents Academy, Ouzinkie Native Corporation
