If you are traveling that far over the ice I would hope you have a GPS. If so you should be able to plot a track and get the distance. If no GPS, I would be hesitant to travel that far from shore.

I don't know if you're thinking of making that trip solo or not; I know we all have our own personal comfort levels. That said, I wouldn't consider that trip solo. It's a big lake and there are many reasons why a buddy system makes a lot of sense. To answer your original question, I suggest you use the Navionics Webap.

If he had a GPS, he wouldn't be asking this question!

The distance is approximately 11 miles. Time ? is of your discretion.

Hey Washout,
You seem like a smart guy so I am hoping you understood that I was really suggesting he have one before going on that trek. If your so eager to provide an answer to his question then please do so although others have already. If you are more interested in making a comment about my post then I suggest you do so via PM. With that being said please don't reply to me on this thread as your view of my respose has nothing to do with the original question.

My apologies to the original poster, I was going to run the distance on my Navionics and add it to my post but got side tracked.

Personally I would do more driving in the car to get around to the east side and travel less on the lake. I believe it is about 3 miles from the Beaverton shore line. You can correct me if I am wrong.

I'd take the sled. Much more fun and probably faster than the car trip.

If your coming from parry sound I'd park at the bottom of the 14th of Oro (Carthew bay) and travel S/E from there. Will cut down on travel, both by truck and will nock several miles off as well on the lake.

The whitefish grounds are roughly 12 to 15 km northwest of beaverton. You will be fine crossing the lake it is in perfect condition right now. Obviously don't travel it if the weather is nasty. Time from oro to white shoal area would take anywhere from 10minutes to 40 minutes depending on speed etc. as a northern fella as myself I'm sure would would be fine and have more common sense than most. Especially when the majority on here are from dirty city.
