Paddling near Almere, Flevoland

Almere sits at the heart of Flevoland, a province reclaimed from the sea and laced with canals, lakes, and open water. The city's own waterways — including the Vaart door Almere-Stad and the waters around Almere Poort — are popular for kayaking and SUP, while the surrounding Markermeer and Eemmeer open up longer flatwater routes. Equipment rental is available locally, and the broader Flevoland boating network connects paddlers to a wide range of routes.
