Soil and terrain at Fanshawe Conservation Area
Fanshawe Conservation Area is a mountain bike trail network in London & Sarnia, ON, Canada. 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 886 ft, an average terrain slope of 1.2° and a predominant SW-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 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 89%
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.
