Desire paths Desire paths can be paths created as a consequence of erosion caused by human or animal foot-fall or traffic. The paths usually represent the shortest or most easily navigated routes between origins and destinations. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desire_path
At least for the dams I can answer that. The posts, if removed, are a hazard when there is a flood. You’d need extra man power/time to collect excess posts in a moment when these factors are critical in fighting against flooding. Yes, it’s not the standard to drive atop the dam, but before starting to fortify it there needs to be a measurement of how well it’s doing where.
