deer path

Wildlife forest route

A deer path is a narrow trail through woods or fields created by deer repeatedly traveling the same route.

These faint, winding tracks follow the animals' preferred corridors between feeding and bedding areas.

Hunters and hikers use deer paths as guides through dense terrain: We followed a deer path down to the creek.
