I think the "tarp" is a horticultural membrane designed to stop weeds

It's difficult to see from the photo, but it looks like the original
path surface material was crushed stone. If true, surface=crushed_stone
might be appropriate, though not widely used (4 instances).
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).
