Why Ontario County Park dries this way
Terrain & soilOntario County Park (Finger Lakes, NY) rides on gravelly loam soil that drains fast over terrain that drains at an even, moderate pace. 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 terrain here is gentle (a 4.4° average grade at 2,129 ft) and drains slowly enough that low spots stay soft after a storm, while the WNW-facing aspect gets its strongest sun in the afternoon, so morning laps can stay tacky after overnight moisture.
