trailway

Marked outdoor corridor

A trailway is a path or trail designated for recreational use—walking, hiking, cycling, or horseback riding.

The term often appears in official contexts for maintained trails through parks or natural areas: The county maintains over fifty miles of paved trailway.

Essentially synonymous with trail, but slightly more formal.
