A straight line distance ignores obstructions like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line from Point A (ie- Rock Lake Village) to Point B. If you need the driving distance (or directions), we recommend that you use one of the Mapping Services listed on our Map Page for Rock Lake Village. Since we usually use Google Maps for our own planning, we've provided the following link for your convenience: Google Map and Driving Directions starting from Rock Lake Village Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Rock Lake Village. The point that we are using is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 38.3473, Longitude: -81.7410 [Map]. In this case, the coordinates for Rock Lake Village have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). - Return to Citation

We're willing to fly into a more distant airport if we can get the services and amenities that we like. Even though our choice of airport might be inconvenient to others, it usually gives us a better trip. - Return to Citation
