Usually this time of year there are many trees down from the winter, and trail users or the forest service will eventually get around to clearing them.   If there aren't enough motivated users, and/or the FS has abandoned it,  one of Andrews ideas is probably appropriate.

It's a tricky one, but whatever is done I would need re-checking frequently to know when it was cleared.

You could just add a single barrier=log somewhere as a rough approximation, or add barrier=log to the way segment which is affected. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:barrier=log says it should only be used on a node, but if you don't know exactly where then I'd say using it on the way would be fine.

You could also consider using one of the stages of decay lifecycle prefix https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Lifecycle_prefix#Stages_of_decay eg disused:highway=track, where disused is "Not currently available for use, but could be reinstated easily".

For a path my rule of thumb is sac_scale=demandig_mountain_hiking means you need to use your hands and arms to get over something, so if that's the case because of logs, then I'd tag it that way.

Lastly you can add a description so users could be presented with a text notice about the way http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:description

    Hello,

    How would you recommend tagging a path or track that has many
    fallen trees across it? There are too many to map each one with a
    node tagged barrier=log.  Foot travel is legal, but physically
    difficult.  Horse and bicycle travel are legal but probably
    physically impossible.  Motorized travel is prohibited, and would
    probably be physically impossible anyway.

    Thanks in advance for your input.

    Mike
