Five to about eight inches is about right for an otter. A female or juvenile will leave the narrower trail while an average sized male will leave the wider.
On a steep grade you won't see many footprints in the trail but while on the level they need to propel themselves and will leave significant footprints in the trail.
They often travel long overland distances between water sources.
