De Voorst is an access point on the Zwolsevaart, a canal running through the polder in the Netherlands. From here, boaters have straightforward connections to the Zwarte Meer and the IJsselmeer.

A boat ramp is available on site, and small boats can be moored along the canal bank. The surrounding area offers flat, open polder landscape typical of this reclaimed region.

Nearby points of interest include the historic villages of Urk and Schokland, both former islands in the IJsselmeer, as well as the village of Vollenhove.
