Paddling near Veendam, Groningen
Veendam sits in the peat-colony landscape of the province of Groningen, threaded by canals that date back to its 1648 founding. The Oosterdiep runs right through the town centre, and the wider network of flat, calm waterways — including the Hunze, the Zuidlaardermeer, and the Oldambtmeer — makes the area well suited to relaxed canal and lake paddling by kayak, canoe, or SUP.
