Green Trail is a short, flat out-and-back cross-country ski route in northern Michigan, about 0.3 miles from the community of Forbush Corner. The trail is easy, with a one-way distance of roughly 0.14 miles and a total round-trip elevation change of about 47 feet, making it a quick outing for skiers looking to get on the snow close to town. Winter is the natural season for this trail. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Gaylord show January highs around 25°F with lows near 12°F, while February is a little milder, with highs near 28°F. By May, typical highs reach about 65°F. Several other cross-country ski routes sit within a short distance, including Two-way Trail and Freeway Connector, each about 0.2 miles away, and Ridge at about 0.3 miles. For an overnight stay, Hartwick Pines State Park Campground is about 3.8 miles away.
