Description
This trail runs between the Broughton Nature and Wildlife Education Area parking lot/shelter area to the ridge-top Red Trail between the Millgate Trailhead and Deerwalk Circle. From the Red Trail, the Green Trail follows a ridge before popping out onto a grassy knoll. From here, the trail drops through an open field and joins a single lane, gravel/dirt road for the final portion of the descent. Our thanks to Ryan Smith of Marietta Adventure Company for mapping this trail.
