Soil and terrain at Coler Mountain Bike Preserve

Coler Mountain Bike Preserve is a mountain bike trail network in Bentonville & NWA, AR. The soil is very rocky loam and drains very fast. Heavy tree cover can slow drying after rain. The terrain averages a 1.1° slope at 1,230 ft and mainly faces NNW. Its nearly flat slopes can hold water in flat stretches. Trails here include Esther's, Oscar's Loop and Lor-Axe.

How these factors affect drying

SoilVery rocky loam

About 65% of this ground is rock fragments, so water runs through it faster than the soil type alone suggests. It dries quicker than plain loam. The soil type here is classified, but the exact drying speed is modeled from that classification rather than measured directly at this spot.

CanopyDense 84%

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.
