- Amenities
- The river is best known for it's trout fly fishing, kayaking and tubing with it's open meadows, gentle landscape and clear pools in wonderful harmony with the valley's pictureque villages. While the river rises in East Dorset, Vt. it travels down through Arlington, Vt. and passes through Cambridge, NY. Come on out to visit Big Big on the Battenkill, located in west Arlington...only a 50 minute drive from Saratoga Springs, Ballston Spa and surrounding areas. Rent a kayak to travel the scenic view or stop and try some fly fishing. We offer tubes as well for a relaxing, slow flow down the "Dionoondwhowee" as the natives used to refer to it. Pack a picnic and make it a summer day to remember! Call to schedule your excursion down the Battenkill River via kayaks or tubes. You will be driven to the drop off location, float down the beautiful river viewing wild life, fly fishermen, farmland, and beautiful green mountains where your trip will end at our rental location address. We will come down to gather the equipment and you will be with your vehicle. The Battenkill River is rated class I making the trip enjoyable for the whole family. However, any body of water must be respected and safety preparations a must. Life vests we supply will be required on all guests. Water shoes or sneakers you should make a must. Your safety is our first concern. Tubing is a slow relaxing trip, usually a 2+ hour trip and kayaking you have the control with the paddles.
