Soil and terrain at Cheney State Park
Cheney State Park is a mountain bike trail network in Wichita, KS. Soil data at the sampled location is classified as sandy. Open tree cover can allow more sun and wind exposure, helping drying. Terrain data indicates an elevation of about 1,473 ft, an average terrain slope of 1° and a predominant N-facing aspect. Terrain slope does not measure the trail tread or its drainage features. 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
SoilSandy
Sandy soil generally allows water to drain readily. Rainfall, shade and trail construction also affect recovery. The model uses surveyed water-retention values, not measured trail recovery times.
CanopyOpen 15%
Open tree cover can allow more sunlight and wind to reach the ground. Terrain, weather and trail construction also affect drying.
TerrainGentle
Gentle terrain can allow water to linger, but slope alone does not establish whether water pools on a trail.
