(The National Map ), accessed October 3, 2011〕 river rising in Vermont that flows into New York and is a tributary of the Hudson River. As "kill" means a creek, the name "Battenkill River" is pleonastic.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Kill – definition and More from the Free Merriam-Webster Dictionary )〕 The mouth of the Batten Kill is in Easton, New York, and the source of the river is in East Dorset, Vermont. The river is known for its fishing, as it has a prominent trout population. The Shushan Covered Bridge crosses it at one point, and the headquarters of the Orvis Corporation are also located along its course. The Battenkill valley is home to the Tour of the Battenkill, the largest road cycling race in North America. The Native American name for the river is either ''Dionoondehowee''〔Vasiliev, Ren. ''From Abbotts to Zurich: New York State Placenames''. Syracuse, NY: Syracuse University Press, 2004.〕 or ''Ondawa''.〔Meeks, Hearld A. ''Time and Change in Vermont, A Human Geography''.
