Why Athens Academy Trails dries this way
Terrain & soilAthens Academy Trails (Athens, GA) rides 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. 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 NE-facing aspect catches morning sun, so the surface firms up earlier in the day, and the nearly flat terrain, about a 1.1° average grade at 594 ft, lets water sit, so the flat stretches are the last to firm up.
