Anyone know of a good place online to go when trying to determine the distance from one location to another.
Trying to figure an approximate distance for a kayak paddle...seems like a short paddle but i can't decide
thanks

easiest is google maps. Just right click where you want to begin and select "measure distance" from the dialog box that pops up.
ETA: right click again to clear measurement.

If you want to scope out places to kayak, google earth is your friend.

yeah i always use google map but i did not realize you could calculate distance. I'm trying to get into catfish lake and paddle down the bank to a spot...just wasn't sure if it was realistic or not

Good tool, thanks. Let me size a lake I was curious about.

2-3 mile paddle isn't too bad unless it's into a 20mph wind against the tide. Took me over an hour to paddle one mile last Sat into a stiff wind against the tide.

Depends on what you are paddling. My Manta Ray 14' is easy to paddle that distance. I went 15 miles in west cove during a tournament once.
