For over a year there was a fake trail that went through a mountain in Google Maps from a ski hill to a waterfall. Local SAR would regularly have to rescue people trying to take the trail; I think at least one person was killed there.

People had long been trying to remove the fake trail from Maps, contacting Google, posting signs at the trailhead saying there was no trail to the waterfall, all to no avail. The fake trail was at last removed in November 2023: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/google-maps-...
