Why Wyandotte County Lake dries this way
Wyandotte County Lake sits in the Kansas City, KS area, on loam soil that drains well 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 terrain here is gentle (a 2.5° average grade at 863 ft) and drains slowly enough that low spots stay soft after a storm, while the NE-facing aspect catches morning sun, so the surface firms up earlier in the day.
