Sun Journal (Maine): The founders of the Northern Forest Canoe Trail in Fryeburg, Maine, unveiled Wednesday an unconventional kiosk deployment along the 740-mile-long canoe and kayaking trail, which runs from the town of Fort Kent, Maine, to Old Forge, N.Y.
The informational kiosk is set within a 16-foot canoe held up by two posts and placed at the entrance of the Maine Visitor Information Center, near the state's border with New Hampshire. The idea is to attract the attention of paddlers and inform them of the ample canoeing and kayaking opportunities in the state.
Though the organization has deployed other informational kiosks along the trail, this is the first to incorporate a canoe. Founders hope the deployment will inspire more creative information displays regarding the state's outdoor recreation.
