Soil and terrain at Blowing Springs
Blowing Springs is a mountain bike trail network in Bentonville & NWA, AR. Soil data at the sampled location is classified as very rocky loam. Dense tree cover can reduce sun and wind exposure, slowing drying. Terrain data indicates an elevation of about 1,152 ft, an average terrain slope of 0.7° and a predominant SSE-facing aspect. Terrain slope does not measure the trail tread or its drainage features. Trails here include Fire Starter, Rabbit Hole Loop and Climb - Top terminal. Loam models conditions across the network; individual trails and constructed surfaces can differ from these environmental inputs. Official closures and conditions on the ground take priority.
How these factors affect drying
SoilVery rocky loam
The soil data includes about 65% rock fragments. The model uses this to adjust drainage; it does not measure how quickly every trail section dries. Drying behavior is modeled from the soil classification, not measured directly on the trail.
CanopyDense 84%
Dense tree cover can reduce sunlight and wind at ground level, slowing drying. Its effect depends on weather and local openings.
TerrainGentle
Gentle terrain can allow water to linger, but slope alone does not establish whether water pools on a trail.
