Why Fowler's Crossing dries this way
Fowler's Crossing (Adirondacks & Plattsburgh, NY) rides on loam soil that drains well over terrain that holds water and dries slowly. Heavy tree cover holds the damp in, so it stays wet longer than the sky overhead would suggest. Loam reads that exact ground against live weather, rather than leaning on a regional forecast that can’t tell you what the dirt is doing. At 1,624 ft, Fowler's Crossing rides SSW-facing ground that soaks up sun through the middle of the day, which speeds drying and opens the season earlier; the nearly flat grade, around 1.8° on average, lets water sit, so the flat stretches are the last to firm up.

How these factors affect drying
SoilLoam
Loam balances drainage with water retention, so it typically takes a day or two to dry after meaningful rain.
CanopyDense 89%
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.
