Paddling near Zutphen, Gelderland

Zutphen sits on the Geldersche IJssel in Gelderland, where the Berkel river flows into the IJssel through the historic Berkelpoort water gate. The city is a natural base for flatwater paddling: kayakers and canoeists travel the IJssel's broad current, while SUP boards and canoes explore the Berkel through and beyond the city centre. The restored, meandering Regge is also within reach for those wanting a more natural river experience.
