For several years we have done kyaking on the Battenkill at fall foliage time. We rent kayaks at Battenkill Canoe Ltd. Great experience!

what an experience world class Ben Gill sports scores picture of mind either a tubing adventure were a kayak and let you see the sights from the creek instead of the road and what is real to see the covered bridges insights but so few people do see. definitely worth the trip

Spent a couple of hours tubing down the Battenkill River. We put in up the road and then floated down across the NY border to get out of a very popular spot.

This stream has long been a "go to" destination for trout fishing, as well as being scenic. The river winds through portions of Vermont and New York....be sure you have the appropriate fishing licenses. Great day trip...take a picnic lunch and a blanket and find a good spot.

I liked the Battenkill Canoe livery their lessons and then their group tour of rivers in Vermont Inn to Inn. Only disappointment is that canoe trips can be "rained out." This happened one day.

Easy, fun, friendly. Great way to spend a half or a whole day. Different kinds of routes for different skill / adventure levels

Lovely to sit by, or take a canoe trip downstream from Batten Kill Canoe in Sunderland, VT. They will drop you off upstream and pick you up as far south-west as Shushan, New York for a reasonable fee. Better than paddling back up stream. They will also rent you a canoe. Lots of nature walks around the river in the same area, too. The Batten Kill is a fly-fisherman's dream river, though it is catch-and-release.

The trips never took as long as they said they would but we always have had a blast. We usually go once a summer when it gets hot. They drive you to the launch and pick you up at the end. Bring a picnic.

Canoeing was fantastic!! Staff was very knowledgeable and good judges of what we were capable of doing physically!!

This is one terrific day tubbing with your family. Both of my children ages 8 and 12 enjoyed this day out. I found this to be a priceless value for a family to create forever memories.

If you know about it you know. If you have never fished it, you should and be prepared with a large dose of humility and a real learning curve.

We took 2 hours to go down the riverIt was nice but the 2 hours trip did not go near any what I would call scenic areaThere are a lot of dead trees in the riverIt is also pretty hard to know exactly ( even approximately ) where you are and how long you still have to paddle to destinationNice kayaking but I expected a little more looking at the previous reviews

Between Greenwich, NY and Arlington, VT the Battenkill is a great riverfor fishing, kayaking and tubing -- lots of fun year roud and many beautiful villages with several good resturants. Great for weekends away from the city!!

This is a beautiful river that is being destroyed by the out of towners.....the tubing is great and there are a couple of canoe rental places in Cambridge, NY and one in Arlington, VT....please remember that this is a pristine river and should remain that way.....no alcohol and what you carry in, please carry out!

We went kayaking. It was very low (we had to push ourselves off of rocks sometimes) but it is still wonderful. The water is so clean and delicious and access is easy.
