walking trail

Nature footpath outdoors

A walking trail is a path designated for foot travel, typically through natural or scenic areas.

Unlike hiking trails, which may be steep or rugged, walking trails are usually well-maintained and accessible to most fitness levels: The park has several walking trails along the river.

The term often appears on signage and maps to indicate routes suitable for casual outdoor recreation.
