About this distance

Far uses Ontario Parks' published figure of 80 km — the park authority's own number for this loop. Killarney Outfitters, based in the park, lists 78 km; the likely cause is map vintage, since the trail was rerouted in 2004, adding about 3 km near campsite H8 to bypass a bridge. The route line drawn here comes from OpenStreetMap and traces about 74 km — shorter than the official distance because the mapped data is incomplete, not because the trail is.
