East along the lake
Red Rock and Nipigon come first from the east, 91 km and 95 km from the casino in straight lines. Schreiber follows at 150 km, then Terrace Bay at 161 km and Marathon at 212 km. Red Rock, Terrace Bay and Marathon each sit within 2 km of the Lake Superior shoreline on the map.
Farther out, the lines stretch to White River at 291 km, Wawa at 333 km and Sault Ste. Marie at 425 km. Sudbury, at the far end of the list, lies 655 km from the casino. Every figure here is a straight line between map points. The road along the shore runs longer, and the Lakehead desk does not estimate driving times.

IIHow far is the airport from the casino?

IIICan US dollars be exchanged at the casino?
Currency exchange is on site, and so are bank machines (ABMs). Which currencies the counter takes is not listed here, so the casino line, 807-766-7900, is the place to ask.
IVDoes the guide give drive times?
No, every distance in this guide is a straight line between map points. Roads are longer, and the Lakehead desk does not estimate driving times.
