No, in the case of path this is a common misconception, and in the
case of track: where did you get this idea from? tracks are kind of
roads (they are at least broad enough for 4-wheeled / normal cars),
they are usually not informal but planned and even maintained (less
frequently then normal roads but still). I am speaking of narrow (in
all cases below 1 metre, I'd say less then 0.5 m actually, usually
20-30 cm). They have to be not planned, not maintained, ground
surface: they are simply there because people (or animal) use them.

There might be some intersection with small paths in some cases, but
usually I'd also say that paths are broader.

cheers,
Martin
