Big Big on the Battenkill

Specialties

Getting you outdoors on the BattenKill River whether floating by tube or kayak. Usual times are arranged however longer or shorter trips can be arranged.

Arlington is only a beautiful 50 minute ride from Saratoga area and roughly 90 from the Albany area. Definitely worth the ride for a day out in the sun in summer.

Corporate event, family reunion, wedding parties, or just a couples outing. Relaxing and scenic.

History

Established in 2014.

Big Big, my nickname, purchased the property as a get away from business on Saratoga Lake, NY where we have a marina and a restaurant amongst rental properties. The BattenKill is such a wonderful peaceful yet fun experience we wanted to be able for others to get on the river and enjoy it as well. Now our get away is in February in Florida ;)

Meet the Business Owner

Kirsten D.

Business Owner

Manager of DiDonna’s South Shore Restaurant and South Shore Marina on Saratoga Lake, NY as well as rental properties… we just had to add another fun seasonal business to the list ;) I have always worked with the public and enjoy meeting different people. Being on the BattenKill surrounded by beauty, I enjoy getting people out on the River to share that beauty with others.

My fiancé «on a good day», Tony D., is the other co-​owner of the property and had the idea to open up the kayak and tubing business for Big Big. We have worked together for roughly 10 years now and although it can be a struggle… we wouldn’t have it any other way.
