Soil and terrain at DuPont State Forest

DuPont State Forest is a mountain bike trail network in Pisgah & Brevard, NC. Soil data at the sampled location is classified as sandy. Sandy soil can help drainage, while dense tree cover can slow drying by reducing sun and wind exposure. Terrain data indicates an elevation of about 2,599 ft, an average terrain slope of 5.7° and a predominant WSW-facing aspect. Terrain slope does not measure the trail tread or its drainage features. Trails here include Reasonover Creek Trail, Three Lakes Trail and High Falls Loop. 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

SoilSandy

Sandy soil generally allows water to drain readily. Rainfall, shade and trail construction also affect recovery. Drying behavior is modeled from the soil classification, not measured directly on the trail.

CanopyDense 91%

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

TerrainModerate

Moderate terrain slope is one input to the drying model. Local drainage also depends on soil and trail construction.
