Why Promised Land State Park dries this way
Promised Land State Park sits in the Poconos, PA area, on gravelly loam 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. 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 ENE-facing aspect catches morning sun, so the surface firms up earlier in the day, and the gentle terrain, about a 2.1° average grade at 1,831 ft, drains slowly enough that low spots stay soft after a storm.

How these factors affect drying
SoilGravelly loam
About 35% of this ground is rock fragments, so water runs through it faster than the soil type alone suggests. It dries quicker than plain loam.
CanopyDense 82%
Heavy tree cover shades the soil and blocks wind, so these trails dry slowly and can hold morning damp even after dry days.
TerrainHolds water
Water tends to pool and linger here rather than running off, so the surface can stay damp well after the weather clears.
