About Blue Ridge Outfitters
Blue Ridge Outfitters is a family-run paddle sport rental company serving the Killington and Chittenden area of Rutland County, Vermont since 1998. Operating from their base in Chittenden, they maintain one of the largest fleets of flat-water kayaks, canoes, and stand-up paddleboards in central Vermont, with delivery service to the region's most scenic bodies of water including Chittenden Reservoir, Kent Pond, Colton Pond, and Woodward Reservoir.
Rentals are available by the hour, half-day, or full day, with options ranging from stable sit-on-top kayaks perfect for beginners and families to sleek touring kayaks for experienced paddlers looking to cover more distance. Tandem kayaks, solo canoes, and a growing fleet of paddleboards round out the selection. All rentals include paddles, life jackets, and a basic orientation, and Blue Ridge can deliver boats directly to your launch point — a huge convenience for visitors staying in Killington who may not have roof racks.
What keeps locals and visitors returning to Blue Ridge is the personal touch that comes with a family-operated business: route suggestions tailored to wind and weather conditions, insider knowledge of the best coves and wildlife-viewing spots, and a genuine enthusiasm for getting people out on the water. For a low-key afternoon paddle surrounded by Green Mountain scenery, Blue Ridge Outfitters is the easy choice.
