forest road

Tree-lined dirt track

A forest road is an unpaved road built through forested land, typically for logging, fire access, or recreational use rather than general transportation.

Forest roads are often maintained by government agencies and may be seasonal or restricted: The forest road was closed during fire season.

They tend to be rougher and narrower than public highways.
