logging roads
Forest harvest routes
Logging roads are unpaved roads built through forests to transport timber from harvest sites.
They're typically rough, narrow, and designed for heavy truck traffic rather than passenger vehicles.
Many become overgrown after logging operations end, though some remain accessible for recreation or forest management: We hiked along an old logging road.
