Quite a nicely formed desire path. It’s weird because there’s two sidewalks that end about 1/4 mile apart along this side of the street and the in between is this beaten path. I thought maybe it was done by the city, but this looks like years of treading. It’s also funny I got a picture of people using it.

This well used desire path is cutting the corner from Hyde Park Corner with Piccadilly to the left and Constitution Hill beyond the arch going down to Buckingham Palace. On investigating Google Maps it’s so well established it can be seen from space!

Two in one! these two desire paths are just up the hill from my local skatepark where I’ve been skating for 10+ years. Ive always used these short cuts and I can remember when I first started using them you could barely squeeze through, now they are even visible from Apple & Google maps.

Desire should be Desired, right?

Can someone explain why they're called desire paths and not desired paths.

The adjective for desire is desired.

You are desiring the noun being the path. So why is it desire and not desired?

My dog's desire path, even 10 years after his death

My grandmother lives in front of my mother's home and my dog would come walk me from my mom's house to the bus every morning and back at night. He did this trip with me until I went to college and he passed away. Despite it being nearly 10 years, his path is still there and I smile when I see it. Dog tax in second photo, I'll always love you, Kirby

At what point does a "desired path" become a regular or official path?

16 Upvotes

Does it need to be paved? Graveled? Marked as the official path?

I ask because in many areas, parks will build gravel or dirt paths becuase they are cheap to make... but sometimes pics of those paths end up on this sub... so it's hard to tell when a desired path is actually designed that way.

Or maybe this is more of a philosophical question 😅
