Thank you for this information. Contributions from locals with local knowledge are very valuable for improving the map.

Since this is an abandoned trail, not a removed one, it's more appropriate to mark is as abandoned (abandoned:highway=*) than to delete it. I've added the trail back as an abandoned trail.

Please see https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Why_can%27t_I_delete_this_trail%3F and https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Lifecycle_prefix for more info, and feel free to ask any questions here.

Thanks again, and welcome to OpenStreetMap!
