Canoeing in Vermont - Safari on the White Breakaways
The White flows through a picturesque, open valley with quiet rural surroundings. We'll find dozens of private places to swim, sun and picnic. The river, including tributaries, is over 100 miles long, so we won't run out of water. At the end of two days you'll be ready for more.
We'll have several choices for put-ins and take-outs, depending on whether we're in the mood for rapids, quiet pools, or both. We'll see mountains, gravel bars, riffles, rapids, quiet water, pools, ledges and more ledges with water so clear you can see fish 10 feet below the surface. In fact, the White is so clean that the Atlantic Salmon Restoration Project chose it as the major watershed for salmon returning to spawn.
The White is a fairly sporty stream with a number of short class I-II rapids. This is a good trip for someone who likes rock dodging and waves, and wants a bit more excitement than flatwater, but may not yet be quite ready for big whitewater.
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.
