woodland trails

Wooded hiking routes

Woodland trails are paths through forested areas, typically used for hiking, walking, or nature observation.

The phrase evokes recreational routes winding through trees rather than paved roads or urban walkways: We spent the morning exploring woodland trails behind the cabin.

Trail maps often distinguish woodland trails from meadow or coastal routes.
