Green is a short, easy loop hike of about half a mile at the Woldumar Nature Center in Michigan, on private land. The trail is nearly flat, with a high point of 874 feet and a low of 862 feet, and the steepest stretch comes at about 0.34 miles in, with a grade of about 3 percent. The whole route is a loop, so you return to your starting point. Late spring and early fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Lansing show May highs around 69°F and September highs around 74°F, while winter brings regular snow days from December through February. The hike takes about half an hour. The Orange and Red trails are each about 0.2 miles away, and Blue is about 0.3 miles off. For a longer outing, Ryan's Loop is about a mile away.
