The Bornsche Beek (also written as Bornse Beek) is a stream in the Overijssel province of the Netherlands, flowing past Hengelo, through Borne, and continuing toward Almelo. The paddling route runs from near the IKEA in Hengelo to a downstream endpoint, covering a distance that takes approximately 1.5 hours to complete by canoe. The stream is generally calm and straightforward, though paddlers will encounter a few small rapids along the way that add a modest element of variety to the journey.

The put-in is located near the IKEA in Hengelo. At the takeout point, a shuttle service returns drivers to the starting location, and the walk back along the stream is also a viable option, taking roughly one hour on foot.

The trip is considered suitable for families with children and is described as neither technically demanding nor particularly long. Groups paddling with young children are advised to ensure at least one adult is present per boat. The minimum group size for organized trips on this route is ten persons, and single canoe rentals are not available through the commercial operator serving this stretch; the route is offered as a group canoe excursion priced at €22.50 per person.

The stream's character is gentle enough for beginners and younger paddlers, while the occasional small rapids provide enough interest to keep the experience engaging. The surrounding landscape follows the stream corridor between Hengelo and Borne, offering a pleasant natural setting along the banks.
