Green Trail
The green trail is 2.3 km in length and takes about 30-50 minutes to walk. The level of difficulty is 2.
The trail winds its way through stands dominated by Sugar Maple, White Ash and American Beech, with components of Black Cherry, American Basswood and Eastern Hemlock and Alternate-leaved Dogwood. Numerous birds can be spotted on the ground, and in the trees and forest canopy. Woodpeckers, Flickers and Nuthatches abound, you may even catch a glimpse of the Pileated Woodpecker! In spring, warblers and tanagers can be spotted amongst the branches in waves on migration. This is a bird lovers paradise.
The forest floor is covered by a diverse collection of wildflowers, ferns, and shrubs. From Trout Lily, Jack-in-the-Pulpit, and Trillium to Wild Ginger, Blue Cohosh, and Violet... and there's much much more. Ferns are interesting to explore and fairly easy to learn to identify. The Green Trail boasts a fine selection of fern species, such as Ostrich and Sensitive Fern as well as a few Horsetail species as well.
The Green Trail is accessed from the parking lot at 80602 Wildlife Line or alternatively, 80591 Front Road. Come enjoy a nature walk 'along the Green' today!
