Nick's description is "overgrown, unclear, prone to flooding"
These are all subjective interpretations.
There are many official PROW's in those conditions.
It doesn't mean they're "abandoned" or "disused".
It doesn't mean someone isn't prepared to wade or hack their way through.
Accurate descriptions of the path's state(s) are required. Tags
something like: Overgrown=yes, flooding=intermittent etc.

If it is totally gone, I still tend to leave the way with "note=There
is no longer a path here, the land manager restored the area to its
natural state sometime before <date>", (or whatever is appropriate)
this provides some assurance that someone doesn't add it back to OSM
using and old source (imagery, GPX tracks, etc).

Hi,
Wondering if there was a consensus on tagging an abandoned, no
longer very usable path (e.g. a path which has become overgrown
or is unclear and prone to flooding in wetter periods). Something
like "path=abandoned"?
My 2p:
Perhaps use "trail_visibility" through the lifecycle of the path
as it changes from "being obvious on the ground" to "not being
there at all"?
Once it's definitely disappeared, I'd have no qualms about
deleting it altogether. Sometimes I update the tags on a path
before deleting it to something like "note=nothing on this
alignment any more".
If it's still visible on imagery, I'd be tempted to leave that
note there (without a highway tag) to stop someone retracing it.
Best Regards,
Andy
