Why Redden State Forest dries this way
Redden State Forest sits in the Lewes, DE area, 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. 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 NNE-facing aspect keeps the dirt shaded for much of the day, so moisture lingers after rain and snow is slow to clear, and the nearly flat terrain, about a 0.1° average grade at 79 ft, lets water sit, so the flat stretches are the last to firm up.

How these factors affect drying
SoilSandy
Sandy, coarse soil sheds water fast. These trails are among the quickest to recover after rain. The soil type here is classified, but the exact drying speed is modeled from that classification rather than measured directly at this spot.
CanopyDense 93%
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.
