About this distance
Far shows Ontario Parks's published 65.0 km (40.4 mi), which is what to plan against. The route drawn here is Far's own measurement of the mapped trail and comes to 50.6 km (31.4 mi), about 22% shorter, so the drawn line will not match the figure. Elevation gain is profiled from the mapped line only, which covers about 78% of that distance — treat 1279 m as a floor, not the full climb. The unmapped remainder cannot be profiled.
