This what I'm referring to:

I guess the starting section can be called wooden steps, but as it goes further, it's no longer a step but a "path." What do you call the whole structure? (I'm looking for a common-easy-to-understand term, rather than a technical one).

The U.S. National Park Service uses them extensively In Everglades National Park. (obviously without the steps.) They are described as boardwalks in both the Park Service literature and by those of us who use the Park. I realize the word is also used to describe a similar structure along a beach, but "context is everything."
