Absolutely! Even something janky like dirt roads can be a helpful barrier to keep crowding down and nature preserved. I live in WA and the road to the famous Hoh rainforest recently washed out and it’s actually a blessing. It’ll take a few years to repair, giving the Hoh a much needed break.
I suppose you also have to be careful not to make your dirt roads too janky or else they become fun for the 4x4 folks and mountain bikers (and yes, I’m speaking for myself in both cases). It always sucks when a trail gets closed because too many users and/or inconsiderate users tore it up too much.

Tourists peel the moss off the trees!
