My husband and I had never kayaked before and are not in the best of shape- the river is spring fed so the resistance is fairly low- it does vary at some points- but I think they told us it moves at 1 mile an hour- I am not sure of the distance you are referring to, but I believe we made it to the half way point in about 45 minutes? at a very casual pace. if the halfway point is the ice cream pontoon. Have fun-
