Why Clappison Woods dries this way
Clappison Woods (Hamilton & Dundas Valley, ON, Canada) rides on loam soil that drains well over terrain that drains at an even, moderate pace. Heavy tree cover holds the damp in, so it stays wet longer than the sky overhead would suggest. Loam reads that exact ground against live weather, rather than leaning on a regional forecast that can’t tell you what the dirt is doing. At 705 ft, Clappison Woods rides SSE-facing ground that soaks up sun through the middle of the day, which speeds drying and opens the season earlier; the gentle grade, around 3° on average, drains slowly enough that low spots stay soft after a storm.

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 96%
Heavy tree cover shades the soil and blocks wind, so these trails dry slowly and can hold morning damp even after dry days.
TerrainModerate
Terrain here drains at a moderate pace. It neither sheds nor holds water strongly.
