Whether you use 'on the path' or 'in the path' depends on the context you create.

For these two specific phrases ONLY...

'On' denotes use, or usage. It implies a connection between what is used and the person.

'In' denotes encountering an obstacle or hazard.

Examples:

We walked on the path marked as 'Easy Hiking'.

As we walked on the path marked 'Easy Hiking', a bear appeared in our path.
