Confirmed from Green Mountain's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Hiker and biker area for exploring Green Mountain trails for varying skill levels.
What runners say about Green Mountain
“Gorgeous views, both at the top of this trail and about half a mile further at the summit.”
“The Southern end of the trail is not well marked.”
A nice walk thru the woods. The tin mine is pretty cool , nice views from the top. Trail in great shape, not too busy. Respectful dog owners.
Awesome hike! The trails are well maintained and clean, aside from the dog poop bags near the trailhead. Expect around a 2 1/2 hour hike to and from the trailhead, with an 1,000ft elevation gain. There are a few vistas along the way where you can stop and take in the view!
Took the dog for a short 9 mile walk yesterday, trails were nice not many people out which we like, trails cross each other many times while hiking wildcat trail so be sure you follow signs as to keep staying on wildcat trail, parking area was big enough for many cars, discovery or America the beautiful pass required
New to hiking and trails this seems to be well worth the time and effort. It has great views and not very difficult. Probably could be a little better marked. But again I am newer to trails. Coming from Ohio I am motivated for more of this.
