Paddling near Zwolle, Overijssel

Zwolle, the capital of Overijssel, sits at the confluence of several major waterways — the Overijsselse Vecht, the Zwarte Water, the IJssel, and the Almelose kanaal — making it one of the better-connected paddling hubs in the eastern Netherlands. The city's historic grachten are a natural circuit for SUP and canoe, while the surrounding region opens onto broader rivers, restored natural waterways like the Regge, and open waters including the Ketelmeer and IJsselmeer.
