    that needs to be a jeopardy question

    Hate to quibble, BUT that distance shown in the map is considerably more than 3.4 miles. :)

  • mygreenlake

    I was thinking the exact same thing…!

    The inner lake path is about 2.8. Add that little path to and fro in the
    upper left of the map and you might get 3.4. Let's insist they re-do the
    thing! :)

    I think it IS an accurate 3.4..It only adds distance down to 50th and back up from 50th to by boathouse….golf course section is same, just moved to 50th, and it doesn't cross aurora. Don't worry about HOW FAR IT IS, Just Do It!!

    No way, not if this map:

    http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=e…

    is correct, which shows 2000 feet on each side of the lower park and at least 500 feet one way for the upper left path to the lake. Of course, for all I know it's the Google map that's off!

    I do – at far faster speeds and greater distances for the last 35 years all around the Green Lake region and well beyond.

    No way, not if this map:

    http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=e…

    is correct, which shows at least 2300 feet on each side of the lower park (10 N-S blocks in this area are a half mile . . . this is 9 blocks – so the map is pretty close) and at least 1000 feet one way for the upper left path to the lake. This is already over a mile added to the 2.8 inner circle, not factoring in the distance added by running a corner rather than the diagnonal. So we're at at least 3.8 miles.
