Soil and terrain at China Camp

China Camp is a mountain bike trail network in Bay Area, CA. The soil is loam and drains well. Heavy tree cover can slow drying after rain. The terrain averages a 13.7° slope at 259 ft and mainly faces NNE. Its steep slopes shed water quickly after rain. Trails here include Bay View Trail, Quercus I and 7-Eleven.

How we check ourselves

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.

CanopyDense 67%

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

TerrainSheds water

Water runs off this terrain rather than pooling, which helps the surface dry out after rain.
