I've found having a hiking buddy their age helped a lot with the "how much farther." Kids distract each other from the mileage if they're playing with a hiking buddy. I invite my sister when ever possible on day hikes since she doesnt backpack. I used to have a friend that had a son 1 year younger than my daughter and another son one year older than my son so they were perfect backpacking buddies till they moved away.
Also agree snacks help when they start to whine.

I meant #2 from the opening post!
They're too young to go kayaking, they may fall overboard, and they'll have trouble rowing!

Depends on several things.
1. What kind of Kayak? Is it designed for them?
2. What Kind of water? Is it still or have a current?
3. Have they been taught how to properly use a Kayak?
I have a few friends that have younger children that do all kinds of Kayaking. My son was 5 this last summer. He did not go out on his own for far. but he took my single 12' out and played in it in a still lake. Lots of fun for him.

We had a canoe when I was growing up. My brothers and I would take it out on Puget Sound (near shore) from the time I was about 3rd grade, so they were 5th and 6th. Always with PFDs. We had a blast.
