The path is a right of way and passes through a reedbed. I drew a polygon for reedbed and tagged it natural=wetland and wetland=reedbed. It has not rendered yet. does the polygon have to be drawn clockwise? a previous edit in another area with natural=wetland and wetland=marsh has rendered. The path rendered fine, and it is not a board walk, so we were fortunate it had not rained much in the last five months, how should it be tagged to show it may be a problem as it does NOT seem to have an easy detour. unlike this one:- https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=18/52.33225/-0.13675 asked 30 Sep '14, 09:08  andy mackey edited 01 Nov '14, 08:34 |

How about "note:surface"? I've occasionally used that for this sort of information. answered 01 Oct '14, 09:32  SomeoneElse ♦ That seems a good solution, I have added surface=water_logged but a better wording would be welcome. (01 Oct '14, 14:54) andy mackey 2 @andy I'd have gone with surface=mud; give you know the area it would be nice to add designation tags to identify the rights of way.

How about adding an extra tag as access:no=wet or access:boot=yes, there several tracks over here with D-tours in the rain season or floods. Look here https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=15/52.2903/5.0935. These tracks carry the warning use watertight shoes by wet whether or seasonal, it’s a semi flooded area, https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=15/51.7884/4.0170 and yes nobody tagged them as such. This is a track in a river bed, regular flooded as well, https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=16/51.8925/5.6984 but no tags. answered 30 Sep '14, 16:47  Hendrikklaas 1 The access key is for legal access and should not be misused for recommendations. Besides, the correct tag would be access:conditional=no @ wet according to the conditional restrictions. (30 Sep '14, 20:02) scai ♦ 1 Scai, Andy still has a point, if access is just legal, there has to be a tag for use at wet, flooded or marshy paths for pedestrians, a gate or log wont do. (30 Sep '14, 23:11) Hendrikklaas I think it is self evident in this case that it may be wet sometimes as the path passes through a wetland reedbed and that tags advising to take your gum boots just in case are unnecessary.
