Green Trail is an easy 0.7-mile hike in Weldon Brook Wildlife Management Area in New Jersey, managed by State Fish and Wildlife. The trail is a short out-and-back, roughly 1.4 miles in total, with a high point of about 1,288 feet and a low of about 1,238 feet. It starts near the 1,285-foot mark, and the steepest part comes early on, with a 5% grade at about 0.07 miles. For comfortable weather, aim for late spring or early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show September highs around 75°F with lows near 52°F, and May highs near 70°F. That station sits several hundred feet lower, so temperatures on the trail run a bit cooler. The Ogden Mine Railroad Trail, a mountain biking route, is just 0.1 mile away, and the Red Trail and Powerline Trail are both about 0.3 mile off. Farther afield, Lake Hopatcong is about 6 miles away.
