Why Lapham Peak State Park dries this way
Lapham Peak State Park sits in the Milwaukee, WI area, on loam soil that drains well over terrain that holds water and dries slowly. 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. At 981 ft, Lapham Peak State Park rides SW-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 0.4° on average, lets water sit, so the flat stretches are the last to firm up.
