Why Naylor Mill Forest Trail dries this way
Naylor Mill Forest Trail is a mountain bike network in MD, riding on sandy soil that drains fast 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. What really sets the timing here is how quickly that ground gives back a firm, dry surface, not what the day’s forecast says. The SE-facing aspect soaks up sun through the middle of the day, which speeds drying and opens the season earlier, and the nearly flat terrain, about a 0.6° average grade at 59 ft, lets water sit, so the flat stretches are the last to firm up.
