Hello, about how long of a paddle is it from Sawbill Lake to Fish Dance Lake?

Just tracing it out on a map online I'm coming up with 25 miles, and that's probably straighter than the line you can actually paddle, so pad that up to maybe as much as 30-35 for real?

I'd say the 25 miles sounds about right if you single portage, probably closer to 35 double.

20.3 miles of paddling plus 19 portages totaling 4.1 miles. So boonie is pretty spot on.
