The Noordwaard is a flow-through area. Water levels are subject to the influx of river water. At high tide, the designated fields fill with water and the current will be stronger. It is then advisable to choose calmer waters.
The Noordwaard is a special area that has looked very different over the centuries. From countryside full of small hamlets, to inland sea after the Sint Elisabethflood of 1421. And then, via reclaimed land, to flood plain to make room for the river.
Here you can seek the silence and enjoy from the water such as a herd of grazing water buffalo or a fishing kingfisher. The creeks meander through the landscape so the view is surprisingly different every time.

You are not out of here just like that, as there are about thirty kilometers of boating route in this area and you do not need to be an experienced canoer to explore here. Just keep in mind that there is no canoe landing stage at the starting point. This may make it a little difficult to get on the water.
You can rent a canoe at Jachthaven Van Oversteeg in Werkendam or at DOCKS vissershang in Hank. Contact the respective party for availability and canoe rental.
