Visiting from Chapman Inn
Distance, bearing & drive time
A 69-minute drive along back roads separates the front door of Chapman Inn from Hayno Bog — 40.2 miles north as the crow flies, on compass bearing N.
Best time to visit
Late May through October; avoid black-fly peak in late May. Being this far north (lat 44.985°), first snows typically arrive by mid-October and linger into early May — narrow the window accordingly. At 40.2 miles from the Inn, block the full day — sunrise start, late return, packed meals. Conditions at Hayno Bog track the nearby Quimby Pond lake (0.5 mi away) closely — if that is runnable, so is this.
