NKSV De Batavier is an active canoe club based on the Spiegelwaal, a roughly 4-kilometer side channel of the Waal river near Nijmegen, created as part of the "Ruimte voor de Rivier" flood-management project.

The club has been operating on the Spiegelwaal since late 2015 and is open to all. With around 150 members, it is active in flatwater, slalom, canoe polo, and whitewater disciplines. Flatwater paddling is possible year-round on the Spiegelwaal.

When the Waal reaches approximately 1,045 cm on the gauge, water overtops the inlet dike and a standing wave forms — known as the Spiegelgolf — drawing whitewater and freestyle kayakers.

The club shares facilities at the Bastion complex on the island of Veur-Lent with several other water-sports associations.
