Why Grafton Lakes State Park dries this way
Grafton Lakes State Park (Albany, NY) rides on loam soil that drains well over terrain that drains at an even, moderate pace. 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 1,037 ft, Grafton Lakes State Park rides SW-facing ground that gets its strongest sun in the afternoon, so morning laps can stay tacky after overnight moisture; the gentle grade, around 4° on average, drains slowly enough that low spots stay soft after a storm.
