Interactive Map - RouteFinder - Results

Summary

When the RouteFinder is done calculating your route, the results will be shown here along with a highlighted route on the map. To show/hide the route on the map, use the applicable buttons. Note - the portaging distance shown on the summary is the total distance you will have to walk on the portages. If you single portage, this is the length of the portage. If you double portage, you have to walk the portage three times, and this is reflected in the portaging distance shown.

If you are signed in and have the appropriate membership level, press "Save Route" to save the route, including the settings, to your profile. You can then access this route either on the "To/From" tab or through "My MNC."

If you have the appropriate membership level, you can also download the route to a GPX file that you can then upload to your GPS or mapping software. Press the "Download GPX" button to get the file.

Campsites

All campsites within about a half mile of the route are shown here (although some campsites up to 1.5 miles away can be included). They are shown in order of straight-line distance ("as the crow flies") from the starting point, which may be different from the order you pass them on the route. Clicking on the campsite link will show where on the map it is located. The status, average rating, possible number of tent pads, and a link to the campsite's lake information are shown.

Lakes

This tab shows, in order, the lakes that you will pass through on this route. Clicking on the lake name will bring up more detailed information. The state/province and an estimate of the acreage are shown. Also, a link to the Minnesota DNR LakeFinder page or the Ontario Fish ON-line site is included.

Portages

Portages are shown in the order that you will take them. The approximate number of rods and a link to more information are included.

Route on Map

The calculated route is shown on the map. The green lines are where you paddle. The red lines are portages. You can left-click on the route to see the distance of the segment, the time required to navigate it, and the cumulative distance and time to that point. You can right-click on the route to show the RouteFinder summary (along with the normal map options) or hide the entire route.
