Why Ohio & Erie Canal Reservation dries this way
Terrain & soilOhio & Erie Canal Reservation (Cleveland, OH) rides 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. 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. The terrain here is gentle (a 2.2° average grade at 627 ft) and drains slowly enough that low spots stay soft after a storm, while the NW-facing aspect gets its strongest sun in the afternoon, so morning laps can stay tacky after overnight moisture.
