Green Trail is a short, easy hike on County of Suffolk land in New York, about a third of a mile long. It rises from a low point of about 250 feet to a high of about 302 feet, with a total elevation gain of 26 feet, so it's a flat, low-effort outing. The trip takes about half an hour. The trail is a point-to-point route, and the climb is nearly flat, with the steepest stretch at about 6 percent grade, roughly 0.28 miles in. Late spring and early fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Centerport, NY, show May highs around 70°F and September highs around 74°F, with July the warmest month at about 83°F. The trail sits close to two other short routes, the Yellow Trail and the Blue Trail, each about a tenth of a mile away. Farther out, about 3.7 miles off, are the Sand Trail and Alex's Trail.
