Why Minnewaska State Park Preserve dries this way
Minnewaska State Park Preserve (Lower Hudson Valley, 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 1,723 ft, Minnewaska State Park Preserve rides E-facing ground that catches morning sun, so the surface firms up earlier in the day; the rolling grade, around 6.3° on average, drains steadily rather than pooling.
