Soil and terrain at Walking Purchase Park

Walking Purchase Park is a mountain bike trail network in Lehigh Valley, PA. Soil data at the sampled location is classified as gravelly loam. Dense tree cover can reduce sun and wind exposure, slowing drying. Terrain data indicates an elevation of about 351 ft, an average terrain slope of 6.6° and a predominant NNW-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 we check ourselves

How these factors affect drying

SoilGravelly loam

The soil data includes about 19% rock fragments. The model uses this to adjust drainage; it does not measure how quickly every trail section dries. The model uses surveyed water-retention values, not measured trail recovery times.

CanopyDense 88%

Dense tree cover can reduce sunlight and wind at ground level, slowing drying. Its effect depends on weather and local openings.

TerrainModerate

Moderate terrain slope is one input to the drying model. Local drainage also depends on soil and trail construction.
