Paddling near Nijkerk, Gelderland

Nijkerk sits on the edge of the Veluwerandmeren in Gelderland, where the polderlands meet a chain of broad inland lakes. The Nuldernauw and Eemmeer are the closest open water, and a dedicated 8.9-km circular kayak route — the Nijkerkernauw Kayak Trail — loops through this area. The Haven van Nijkerk serves as a practical launch point for exploring these connected waters by kayak, canoe or SUP.
