Tips from locals
A traditional summer pastime in southern Vermont involves packing a lunch, some drinks, deciding if it will be in a kayak, tube, or raft, and float down the Battenkill River. The Green Mountain water is cold but refreshing especially on a hot summer day.
West Arlington - Guests love to enjoy a float down the Battenkill River. Stop in the Wayside Country Store to pick up snacks, drinks & lunch at the deli. “Big Big” is right next door and only 4 miles from the domes.
Southern Vermont’s rushing, roaring section of the Battenkill River makes for some incredible water recreation. Cool down by swimming, tubing, rafting or paddling sections of the river. Access the river in Manchester and nearby Arlington, and plan to camp nearby. If you don’t feel like pitching a tent, lodging of all stripes abounds in Manchester. While there, why not head downtown for some outlet shopping?
