Paddling near Ede, Gelderland

Ede sits in the Gelderse Vallei, a broad inland region of Gelderland where flat polder landscapes and restored waterways make for accessible flatwater paddling. The area's rivers — including the Valleikanaal, Linge, and the powerful Waal — draw kayakers and canoeists looking for quiet touring on natural and semi-natural waterways. The Kromme Rijn is a well-known paddling destination within reach, winding through the countryside and rentable by canoe.
