Why Boyne Forest Trails dries this way
Boyne Forest Trails sits in the Traverse City, MI area, on sandy soil that drains fast 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. Whether it’s worth riding comes down to how that ground sheds and holds water after rain. That’s exactly what Loam tracks, hour by hour. The NNE-facing aspect keeps the dirt shaded for much of the day, so moisture lingers after rain and snow is slow to clear, and the gentle terrain, about a 2.7° average grade at 889 ft, drains slowly enough that low spots stay soft after a storm.
