paved path

Hard surface trail

A paved path is a walkway with a hard, finished surface—typically asphalt, concrete, or stone—as opposed to dirt or gravel.

The term usually describes routes for pedestrians or cyclists in parks, campuses, or residential areas: The paved path wound through the garden.

A paved path implies permanence and accessibility.
