Battenkill Valley Outdoors | Offering custom river trips on the Battenkill: canoe, kayak, raft, & tube rentals, shuttles, and options to explore the area otherwise

COVID-19 and BVO

BVO has chosen NOT to open for the 2020 season- sadly

Our decision was based on many factors- most notably - how to transfer customers to and from the river - safely - in a 15 passenger van, the sanitation between each trip, the cleaning of equipment, and the distancing required to prepare each
participant - as in government mandates.

We try to treat each trip on the Battenkill as more than an amusement park ride or drinking party. The Battenkill is a beautiful, natural resource, and this season has seen it's share of overuse and abuse.

BVO draws amazing clientele from all over the region and globe- this decision does not come easily. We hope to reopen next season

Stay safe- Be well
