This article is about paths for use by pedestrians that are not next to a road. For paths beside roads, see Sidewalk. For other uses, see Footpath (disambiguation).

A footpath (also pedestrian way, walking trail, nature trail) is a type of thoroughfare that is intended primary for use by pedestrians, but not other forms of traffic such as motorized vehicles and horseback. They can be paths within an urban area that offer more expedient or safer routes, or rural paths, such as a trail through the countryside.

Terminology

The terms shared-use path, separated-use path or multi-use path may be used if pedestrians and other forms of traffic make use of the same thoroughfare. The term Footpath can also be used to describe a pavement / sidewalk in some English speaking countries.

In some regions of the United Kingdom, such as England and Wales, there are rights of way on which pedestrians have a legally protected right to travel.

National parks, nature preserves, conservation areas and other protected wilderness areas may have trails that are restricted to pedestrians.

Construction materials

Footpaths may be constructed of masonry, brick, poured or modular unit concrete, cut stone or wood boardwalk. Also crushed rock, decomposed granite, fine wood chips are commonly used. The construction materials can vary over the length of the footpath and may start with a well constructed hard surface in an urban area, and end with an inexpensive soft or loose surface in the countryside.

Footpath Issues

Footpaths do have drawbacks. The main issues include maintenance, litter, crime, and lighting after dark. As many footpaths can be in remote locations, it can be difficult to provide needed routine maintenance to them. Solar lighting is an option for safer footpaths.

Types of footpaths

Footpaths can be located in many settings for varied uses and experiences. As a few examples, these can include:

• parks: for means of convenient, recreational, and aesthetic, movement in and through public spaces, urban parks, neighborhood parks, linear parks, botanic gardens, and regional parks.
• in gardens and designed landscapes: in private gardens, at school, university and business park campuses; and at park visitors centers as natural history interpretive nature trails in designed wildlife gardens.
• in sculpture gardens and open air museums, as sculpture trails and historic interpretive trails.
• in a wilderness setting, such as a day-trail or long-distance trail within a protected nature reserve, such as a national park, from a trailhead.
• as jogging or running paths.
• as disability handicapped and wheelchair accessible paths meeting ADA specifications in sensory gardens and all the above settings.
