walking trails

Paths through nature

Walking trails are paths designated for foot travel, typically through natural or scenic areas.

They range from paved urban routes to rugged backcountry paths.

The term emphasizes recreational walking rather than hiking's more strenuous connotations: The park has several walking trails along the river.

Trail maps often rate them by difficulty and accessibility.
