Why Freetown State Forest dries this way
Freetown State Forest is a mountain bike network in the Greater Boston region of MA, riding 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. What really sets the timing here is how quickly that ground gives back a firm, dry surface, not what the day’s forecast says. The NW-facing aspect keeps the dirt shaded for much of the day, so moisture lingers after rain and snow is slow to clear, and the nearly flat terrain, about a 0.7° average grade at 220 ft, lets water sit, so the flat stretches are the last to firm up.
