Why Nassahegon Trail Network dries this way
Terrain & soilNassahegon Trail Network sits in the Hartford, CT area, on loam soil that drains well over terrain that holds water and dries slowly. 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 nearly flat (a 1.5° average grade at 787 ft) and lets water sit, so the flat stretches are the last to firm up, while the E-facing aspect catches morning sun, so the surface firms up earlier in the day.
