Why Brendan T. Byrne State Forest dries this way
Brendan T. Byrne State Forest sits in the Central New Jersey, NJ area, 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. 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 terrain here is nearly flat (a 0.3° average grade at 108 ft) and lets water sit, so the flat stretches are the last to firm up, while the ENE-facing aspect catches morning sun, so the surface firms up earlier in the day.

How these factors affect drying
SoilLoam
Loam balances drainage with water retention, so it typically takes a day or two to dry after meaningful rain. The soil type here is classified, but the exact drying speed is modeled from that classification rather than measured directly at this spot.
CanopyDense 87%
Heavy tree cover shades the soil and blocks wind, so these trails dry slowly and can hold morning damp even after dry days.
TerrainHolds water
Water tends to pool and linger here rather than running off, so the surface can stay damp well after the weather clears.
