Terrain & soilHobbs State Park sits in the Bentonville & NWA, AR area, on very rocky loam soil that drains very fast 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. Whether it’s worth riding comes down to how that ground sheds and holds water after rain. That’s exactly what Loam tracks, hour by hour. The S-facing aspect soaks up sun through the middle of the day, which speeds drying and opens the season earlier, and the gentle terrain, about a 3.5° average grade at 1,296 ft, drains slowly enough that low spots stay soft after a storm. Trails on the map here include War Eagle Valley Loop, Little Clifty Creek Loop and Pigeon Roost Trail - Huckleberry Loop.

How these factors affect drying
SoilVery rocky loam
About 65% of this ground is rock fragments, so water runs through it faster than the soil type alone suggests. It dries quicker than plain loam.
CanopyDense 86%
Heavy tree cover shades the soil and blocks wind, so these trails dry slowly and can hold morning damp even after dry days.
TerrainModerate
Terrain here drains at a moderate pace. It neither sheds nor holds water strongly.
