It's not a perfect fit, but I would suggest using highway=ford, along
with a width tag if you know roughly how wide the stream is. It would
at least give the suggestion that you might get your feet wet if you
can't jump across that large a stream! Although fords are usually used
for roads, I don't see any problems for using them for paths as well.

Cheers,
