Green Trail is a cross-country skiing route in Madeline Bertrand Park in Michigan, on county land. The trail is short, about 0.56 miles round trip, and the climb is flat, with the high point at 694 feet and the low at 690 feet. The route is rated moderate, and the total gain and loss for the out-and-back are each about 27 feet. Winter is the natural season for skiing here. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in S Bend, Indiana, show January highs around 32°F and lows near 17°F, with March warming to highs of about 47°F. That station sits at nearly the same elevation as the trail, so its figures are a fair guide. Red Trail and Yellow Trail both lie within about 0.2 miles, making it easy to link a ski run with a hike. Judy Creek, about 5.8 miles away, offers canoeing.
