Doing the snowbank to lake one loop in a few weeks. Shorter days for sure, but if I'm on the lake at sunrise is it realistic to shoot for Ima in one day?

Thanks,
CGriff

Side note, try to leave Snowbank as early in the am as possible. Wind is "usually " not a problem at that time.

Thanks, that's what I've heard. Plan to be on the water at first light.

I've made it to Ima by early afternoon after a dawn departure, double-portaging.
