I think it is 3/4 of a mile.

Actually, I think it's more like 5/8 mile, FWIW, but others more "exact" than I could verify.

5/8 mile = 0.625 mile.
Using Google Earth, I just came up with 0.66 mile. This was going behind the rec building. Google Earth is not super accurate but gives a good indication of the distance.
To Frank's point, others may have verified it more exactly.

A local ultra runner who ran around Duck Island for 24 hours(!) says it's 0.65 miles, as determined on a gps watch...
