Soil and terrain at Parkway Trail System
Parkway Trail System is a mountain bike trail network in Lancaster & Lebanon, PA. Soil data at the sampled location is classified as gravelly loam. Terrain data indicates an elevation of about 459 ft, an average terrain slope of 1.3° and a predominant SSE-facing aspect. Terrain slope does not measure the trail tread or its drainage features. Loam models conditions across the network; individual trails and constructed surfaces can differ from these environmental inputs. Official closures and conditions on the ground take priority.
How these factors affect drying
SoilGravelly loam
The soil data includes about 29% rock fragments. The model uses this to adjust drainage; it does not measure how quickly every trail section dries. Drying behavior is modeled from the soil classification, not measured directly on the trail.
CanopyPartial 36%
Partial tree cover suggests a mix of sun and shade. Local exposure and surface conditions can vary across the network.
TerrainGentle
Gentle terrain can allow water to linger, but slope alone does not establish whether water pools on a trail.
