Why Mount Nebo State Park dries this way
Mount Nebo State Park sits in the Little Rock, AR area, on gravelly sandy soil that drains fast over terrain that sheds water and dries quickly. 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 terrain here is rolling (a 11.2° average grade at 1,063 ft) and drains steadily rather than pooling, while the ENE-facing aspect catches morning sun, so the surface firms up earlier in the day.

How these factors affect drying
SoilGravelly sandy
About 32% of this ground is rock fragments, so water runs through it faster than the soil type alone suggests. It dries quicker than plain sandy. The soil type here is classified, but the exact drying speed is modeled from that classification rather than measured directly at this spot.
CanopyDense 88%
Heavy tree cover shades the soil and blocks wind, so these trails dry slowly and can hold morning damp even after dry days.
TerrainSheds water
Water runs off this terrain rather than pooling, which helps the surface dry out after rain.
