Soil and terrain at DTE Energy Foundation Trails

DTE Energy Foundation Trails is a mountain bike trail network in Detroit & Ann Arbor, MI. Soil data at the sampled location is classified as organic soil. Dense tree cover can reduce sun and wind exposure, slowing drying. Terrain data indicates an elevation of about 971 ft, an average terrain slope of 0.7° and a predominant NE-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

SoilOrganic soil

The soil survey describes organic material at this spot, not a mineral soil texture. The drying model uses surveyed water-retention values. Organic soils vary in how they drain, so this label alone does not tell you how quickly the trail will dry.

CanopyDense 86%

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.
