Soil and terrain at Lake Wedington
Lake Wedington is a mountain bike trail network in Bentonville & NWA, AR. Soil data at the sampled location is classified as gravelly loam. Dense tree cover can reduce sun and wind exposure, slowing drying. Terrain data indicates an elevation of about 1,286 ft, an average terrain slope of 0.9° and a predominant E-facing aspect. Terrain slope does not measure the trail tread or its drainage features. Trails here include Western DON, Wedington Twin Mountains and Crisscross. 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
SoilGravelly loam
The soil data includes about 35% rock fragments. The model uses this to adjust drainage; it does not measure how quickly every trail section dries. The model uses surveyed water-retention values, not measured trail recovery times.
CanopyDense 81%
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.
