If there is a general park notice "stay on marked tracks only" combined
with the "End of track" I would say that's sufficient to imply you can't
continue further and therefore access=no.

Without the general park notice but simply "End of track", to me that just
means it's the end of foot=designated, and further tracks would be foot=yes
and informal=yes, without any access=no.
