Some of them go to areas like the river or a pond like structure in the marsh. Then of course there are those that hit islands and vegetation transitions.
They are either deer trails or drainage channels for the water when it’s high. Cattails really slow water flow so the water makes channels to go faster.
If they look like a deer trail (go to islands) they are probably a deer trail. That’s the nice part about cattails
