GREEN TRAIL SOUTH.
This short 0.1-mile connector runs through the southern section of its trail network, likely serving as a link between longer routes or facilities. At roughly 500 feet, it's brief enough to be a spur to a viewpoint, parking area, or campsite rather than a destination in itself. Check local trail maps for what it connects to—context matters more than distance on segments this short.
