River flow has so much to do with it.
This, but also the type of kayak and gear. If you have a kayak built to cover distance you can go much faster.
If you are just taking a 12 ft basic fishing type of kayak with a cooler of beer and camping gear it slows you down more than you think.
I’ve probably done 150-200 Miles over the course of 30-40 different kayak trips and the most I’ve covered is maybe 15 miles a day. But I was never trying to cover miles, and 10+ miles is a lot of River miles on a kayak a day. I can’t imagine doing over 25 in a day unless it was just smoking fast down River.
It’s similar to hiking. There’s people that hike the app trail and avg 25-30 or more miles a day. That’s insane.

Additionally remember this.
You go faster as the trip goes on.
The heaviest thing we bring is beer. The more you drink, the lighter you get.
7guys bringing 10 cases of beer on a 3 night trip weighs approximately 126 lbs. also factor in the melted ice that you’ll toss out. It’s probably an additional 50 lb of ice.
You’ll be levitating over the water by trip’s end.
Realistically, though the last leg of your trip is the fastest die to pack weight loss unlesss you have some dude that picks up burl wood or something and thinks he can sell it at the furniture mart on Monday.
