paved trails

Hard-surface hiking routes

Paved trails are pathways surfaced with asphalt, concrete, or similar hard materials, typically designed for walking, cycling, or wheelchair access.

They wind through parks, along waterfronts, or connect neighborhoods: The city's paved trails make it easy to bike to work.

Distinguished from natural or gravel trails by their smooth, all-weather surface.
