I could have downloaded something - some sort of nap file - and not known it. I kind of stumble through it. Took me a while to figure out these were trail heads, not paddle entry points. Doh. But find end of road at Isabella and zoom in. It popped up for me.


Anyone can add points to Google maps. I started with Q entry points - see if you don't find "Beaverhouse Lake Parking Lot". You can only do a very few at a time and see one days later they get back and say it was added or not. I just stopped. Good winter activity.

"Beaverhouse Lake Parking Lot" popped right up. Cool.


I did manage to get a google map drive route between Snowbank Lodge and Outfitters and PowWow Trail Head this time. That's a 1 1/2 hr drive.

I was just going to post the exact same thing although I google mapped it from Ely to Forest Center and came up with a little over an hour. It's an hour roughly from the EP16 area to Ely, so about 2 hours in total.

Somewhat to my surprise, I found both trailheads on Google Maps.

Well dang! Thanks! I'll go back and figure out why I didn't anywhere with Google maps. (for starters my confidence was low so I suppose I gave up too soon)

I might be ending a Sioux Hustler entry point 15, (or other loop) and then meeting up with a trail clearing crew over on the PowWow tail entry point 86.

Google maps doesn't seem to recognize that so I can't figure out drive time between 2 entry points. Do I have to map a drive route manually, like through Gaia, and then guestimate drive time?
