Soil and terrain at Cuyuna Lakes

Cuyuna Lakes is a mountain bike trail network in Minneapolis & St. Cloud, MN. Soil survey coverage is unavailable at the sampled location. Dense tree cover can reduce sun and wind exposure, slowing drying. Terrain data indicates an elevation of about 1,247 ft, an average terrain slope of 2.1° and a predominant W-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 we check ourselves

How these factors affect drying

SoilNot surveyed

Soil survey data does not reach this spot, so the drying model assumes middle-of-the-road ground rather than guessing at a soil type. Other inputs still inform the model, but expect the drying estimate here to be less precise than at networks with surveyed soil.

CanopyDense 70%

Dense tree cover can reduce sunlight and wind at ground level, slowing drying. Its effect depends on weather and local openings.

TerrainGentle

Gentle terrain can allow water to linger, but slope alone does not establish whether water pools on a trail.
