The Barneveldsche Beek is a small stream in the central Netherlands, accessible as a side trip from the Valleikanaal in the Leusden area. Paddlers typically reach it by turning left off the Valleikanaal at a marked intersection, making it a natural extension of routes that also take in the canals of Amersfoort and the surrounding waterways.

Shortly after entering the beek, paddlers encounter a weir just beyond the bridge over highway A28. The banks at this point are fairly steep, but portaging on the left side is manageable with some effort, and relaunching after the weir is straightforward. Navigation on the stream itself requires attention: at the first intersection paddlers should keep left, then keep right at the next. After a small wooden bridge the stream divides into two branches; either can be taken, as they rejoin after roughly 600 meters.

A second weir lies a short distance beyond where the branches merge. This weir presents a significantly more difficult portage, and the practical advice for most paddlers is to turn around here rather than attempt it. The out-and-back nature of the excursion from the Valleikanaal means the total detour adds a modest distance to the overall trip.

The Barneveldsche Beek features as part of a longer 20.1-kilometer route combining the Amersfoort canals with a trip on the beek, involving two portages in total. Kayak rental is available in Amersfoort through Kantje Boord, located at Gasthuislaan 70. The stream corridor has been subject to ecological restoration work, including the installation of fish passages at weirs and automated water-level management structures along its lower reaches.
