New Trailhead Kiosk Signage on the Eastern Trail

In late November, the Eastern Trail Alliance was thrilled to install newly designed kiosk signage at trailheads along the Eastern Trail from Scarborough to Kennebunk, marking the successful completion of our 2025 signage project.

These new kiosks present clear, welcoming, and easy-to-use information that will better serve the many people who enjoy the heavily used Eastern Trail each year.

Each multi-paneled trailhead kiosk features a large, full-color horizontal map highlighting on-road, off-road, and future sections of the Eastern Trail from South Portland to Kennebunk. Visitors will also find trail rules and guidelines in one easy-to-read place, information about upcoming events and ways to get involved, and a convenient cashless donation option to support trail care and future improvements. The modular panel design also makes it easy to update individual sections, such as updating and replacing the map, without having to redo the entire kiosk.

While most of the posted trail rules are not new, bringing them together in one place helps improve safety and enjoyment for everyone by clearly outlining permitted and prohibited uses, safe cycling speeds, pet policies, and equestrian access. A complete list of trail rules and guidelines is also available here.

This transformative improvement to the Eastern Trail was made possible by a generous grant from the Davis Conservation Foundation and the continued support of Eastern Trail Alliance donors. Thank you for helping us create a safer, more welcoming trail experience for all today and into the future.
