<div>I lean towards mapping what's physically there, so if the trail exists I think it's ok to map it if you want to.<br />
</div>
<div>If the trail is blocked by a fence/barrier and signage saying keep out etc, then I think access=no would be appropriate as it's facts based on what's physically there.<br />
</div>
<div>I also default to "If in doubt, leave the map as it is". So if someone has mapped something and I'm not really sure of any changes I'm thinking of making are correct, then I leave it alone.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Anyway that's just my thoughts.</div>

<div>Hi</div>
<div> </div>
<div>What (if any) is the correct tagging for unauthorised trails in</div>
<div>national and state parks?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>For example, Ant Track</div>
<div><a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=18/-37.92599/145.32051" defang_rel="noreferrer">https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=18/-37.92599/145.32051</a></div>
<div> </div>
<div>I have spoken with Parks Vic and they request that bike riders do not</div>
<div>create additional trails and only use official trails. They would</div>
<div>prefer if such unofficial trails were not mapped or named because it</div>
<div>implies official status to park users.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I have not yet worked out how to contact the author of Ant Track.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks</div>
<div>Tony</div>
