woodland trail

Hike through trees

A woodland trail is a path through forested land, typically unpaved and maintained for hiking, walking, or nature observation.

The term evokes a more rustic, natural setting than a park path: We followed the woodland trail until it opened onto a meadow.

Such trails wind through trees rather than cutting straight through.
