I would prefer surface=dirt, too. Maybe with smoothness=intermediate (or  
bad, if there are more/bigger treeroots).

There are 33 instances of surface=unpaved:crushed_limestone in the
database which is a pretty common surface on paths around where I live.
Depends how specific you want to be?


Those light spots are leaves, not crushed stone. It's all dirt and other  
natural materials. I could use surface=dirt, but the membrane presumably  
means that it won't turn muddy like a typical dirt path.


If it helps at all, this is a swampy area (hence the boardwalk in the  
background).

[Tagging] What is this path surface called?

There's a black tarp spread over the ground (tree roots have exposed a 
piece here) with dirt, mulch, and other natural materials spread on top. 
Does this have a name?

surface=unpaved seems like the best candidate.
