Why Bangor City Forest dries this way
Bangor City Forest (Acadia & Downeast, ME) rides on loam soil that drains well over terrain that holds water and dries slowly. Heavy tree cover holds the damp in, so it stays wet longer than the sky overhead would suggest. Loam reads that exact ground against live weather, rather than leaning on a regional forecast that can’t tell you what the dirt is doing. The terrain here is nearly flat (a 0.1° average grade at 135 ft) and lets water sit, so the flat stretches are the last to firm up, while the N-facing aspect keeps the dirt shaded for much of the day, so moisture lingers after rain and snow is slow to clear.

CanopyDense 86%
Heavy tree cover shades the soil and blocks wind, so these trails dry slowly and can hold morning damp even after dry days.
