To the north, Greenbush goes through a mature hardwood forest and past the bear Lake Marsh. You will also find a new shelter at Greenbush. A large parking lot and restrooms are located at the trails' head. Touring the Zillmer Trails is more than a cross country skiing experience, it is a wilderness adventures. The meadows and hilly hardwoods and evergreens, cross a creek, then turns east up a steep ridge.
Skiers usually pause at the top for the top for a breathtaking view of the forest.
The descent is tough and caution is urged. From there, the trail meanders along the edges of rougher terrain before heading to yet another open ridge with a scenic vista to the east and west. Within the forest are two main recreation areas, Long Lake and Mauthe Lake. Both areas offer camping, swimming, fishing and picnicking.
