Canoeing in Vermont - Valley of Vermont Rambles
Our home is right in the center of one of the fines valleys in southern Vermont. The Green and Taconic mountain ranges along with the Batten Kill provide a spectacular background for our unique adventure. The combination of canoeing and walking allows us to fully discover this magical valley. We will gain an understanding of why Norman Rockwell, Ethan Allan, and Dorothy Canfield Fisher all chose to call this place home.
Our stay during this trip is at the Hill Farm Inn. Located just down the road from our shop the inn offers the perfect location to fully explore and discover this wonderful valley. The classic farmhouse has wide board floors, antique furnishings and true country charm. Innkeepers Al and Lisa Gray will be on hand to welcome us and make us feel immediately at home. We'll soon sense the warm feeling of timeless relaxation. We settle into Hill Farm Inn for our entire trip allowing us the opportunity to fully explore this valley by foot and canoe.
The Batten Kill is the focal point of our paddling. With over 40 miles of sparkling water and gentle rapids we will have plenty to choose from. The Batten Kill rises in the Green Mountains, flows through beautiful countryside and passes under four covered bridges on its way to the Hudson. Your guides will be happy to share their favorite sections of river along with sunny lunch spots and refreshing swimming holes.
About Battenkill Canoe
Our goal has always been to rise above the rest, to guarantee more than just an ordinary canoe trip, to provide you with a vacation that goes beyond the mundane. We plan vacations, not expeditions. Afloat, a new world awaits, a world of slowed-down time and stretched-out space, of peace and quiet beauty. From a river, you feel more, and see with different eyes. We at BattenKill take the importance of free-flowing, healthy rivers, and unspoiled outdoors as a priority. Our days are simple and loosely structured. Take a few moments at the water's edge and you will feel yourself wrapped by the river's gentle music, and find the sounds of civilization stopped for a moment. Such moments are timeless and natural.
