Voyageur II: Distance from Windigo to Rock Harbor via north

Post by upnorthjeeper »

I'm setting up my detailed plans and as part of the process and recording mileage for all aspects (hiking, boating, and driving). I would really appreciate it if one of you know and could tell me the distance from Windigo to Rock Harbor via north route. Thanks in advance for your time!

My National Geographic map says 55 miles.

I don't have a chart in front of me to figure exact, I do know how long it takes when I run the boat with no stops between Windigo and Rock Harbor. 4 hours at 14 mph is 56 miles, so, Nick came up with 55, being there is no "straight line" between the points that a boat can take, one mile variance either way would be close enough for me.
