Why Seven Mile Creek Park dries this way
Terrain & soilSeven Mile Creek Park (Minneapolis & St. Cloud, MN) 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 E-facing aspect catches morning sun, so the surface firms up earlier in the day, and the gentle terrain, about a 2.2° average grade at 761 ft, drains slowly enough that low spots stay soft after a storm.
