Paddling near Almelo, Overijssel


Almelo sits in the Twente region of Overijssel, a province threaded with restored rivers and canals well suited to flatwater paddling. The Regge — once canalized and now returned to its naturally winding course — is the standout waterway close to the city, drawing canoeists and kayakers through quiet agricultural countryside. The Kanaal Almelo-Nordhorn and the broader canal network around Almelo add further options for kayaking, canoeing, and SUP on calm, accessible water.
