Green Trail is an easy, short loop in Massachusetts, about a mile from the town of Parkwood Beach. The route is 1.5 miles long and rises about 82 feet from a low point of 6 feet to a high of 106 feet. The climb is gentle, with the steepest stretch at about 0.47 miles and a 9% grade. The loop is an easy way to spend half an hour on foot close to town. Summer and early fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in E Wareham show July highs around 81°F and September highs around 73°F, with June and September each seeing about nine wet days a month. The Red Trail lies just 0.1 mile away, and Charge Pond Loop and Four Ponds Loop are both within about five miles. Paddlers can reach the Sippican River at a similar distance.
