How long would a 7 mile down river canoe trip take, on average? Need to schedule someone to pick me up at the destination, never done this before.

this or less, depend if you are stopping to eat or drink some water. Add an hour more if you are new

How fast does the river flow? Figure it based on that +30% if you're just relaxing on the river. You can beat that, but if you're not racing, there's not really any point in beating it, if you were exercising you'd be going up stream, not down. Give yourself more time if you're fishing.

It depends on the speed of the river, how many turns, how good your canoe is, etc

The average speed for a river is 7.48007 MpH and canoes usually go about the speed of the river. You should use the paddles to direct your canoe instead of using it to push unless the river is a little slower. With Minimal Turns, As The OP Above Explained It Should Take Around 2 Hours If You Account For Shitty Canoe Specs And Turns

7.5 mph is fast as fuck, like whitewater fast. Most rivers are slow as balls, less than 1 mph. Most scenic recreational rivers are 2.5 to 3.5 mph.

If flowing with a decent current, with few obstructions, no stops, and paddling? About 2 hours. If you want to float down add an hour. Set the pickup for later, it takes time to pack up and shit happens.

Took a friend and I all day to do 10 miles. Planned on doing 20.
Log jambs killed our time. Give yourself plenty of room for portage and other obstacles.

It took me 3 and a half to do 6 miles upstream in a kayak, for what it's worth. Took some breaks but it was fucking exhausting fighting the current
