Why Maybury State Park dries this way
Terrain & soilMaybury State Park sits in the Detroit & Ann Arbor, MI 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. At 955 ft, Maybury State Park rides SSE-facing ground that soaks up sun through the middle of the day, which speeds drying and opens the season earlier; the nearly flat grade, around 0.9° on average, lets water sit, so the flat stretches are the last to firm up.
