Green Trail is a cross-country ski route in northern Minnesota, about 1.7 miles from the town of Woodland Park. The trail is an out-and-back, roughly 3.8 miles long, with a one-way climb of about 87 feet from a starting elevation of 1,447 feet to a high point of 1,462 feet. The steepest stretch comes early on, around the 0.25-mile mark, with a grade of about 6 percent. Winter is the natural season for this trail. Typical averages from the nearby Blackduck weather station show January highs around 18°F with lows near -9°F, while March runs warmer, with highs around 37°F. The station sits a few hundred feet lower than the trail, so temperatures on the route may run slightly cooler. Several other ski trails lie close by. Blue Trail is about 0.2 miles away and Red Trail about 0.3 miles. Gold Trail is about half a mile off, and Montebello Trail is roughly 6.8 miles away.
