Paddling near Hoogeveen, Drenthe
Hoogeveen sits in the peat-canal landscape of Drenthe, where a dense network of historic vaarten (canals) fans out from the town in every direction. The Hoogeveensche Vaart runs right through the area, connecting to the Verlengde Hoogeveensche Vaart and the broader Drentsche Hoofdvaart system — giving paddlers long, flat stretches of calm water through open polder scenery. Nearby, the Linderbeek and the Overijsselse Vecht add more natural, meandering character for canoeists seeking a quieter, greener paddle.
