You could get a board of wood about 4 feet long and a foot wide, attach some rope to each end (length wise) and kind of do what they do to make crop circles by stepping on it lifting it up and then stepping on it. Don't know if that completely makes sense? haha

obviously the bigger the piece of wood, the bigger the path.
