Parkhaven

Parkhaven is a modern transient marina (passantenhaven) in Drachten, situated at the junction of the Drachtster Feart and the Zuiderhogeweg, directly alongside the Piipbregge bridge and adjacent to the Slingepark.

Developed by the municipality of Smallingerland to better connect Drachten with its waterways, construction was completed in 2023. The harbor provides moorings for sailing and motor vessels that cannot pass under the Piipbregge.

Its open connection to the Friese Meren makes it a natural stopover on longer cruises through the region. The town center of Drachten is within easy walking and cycling distance, with several cycle routes passing directly by the site.

The location also accommodates campers, offering a combined waterside destination for both boaters and land-based visitors.
