departure denderleeuw

All our canoes in Denderleeuw are two-person boats. Each two-person boat has space for 1 extra child without a paddle (child under 10 years old).

PLEASE NOTE: the route between the two locks in Denderleeuw takes an average of 1 hour. If you book for 2 hours, you will be doing the same route multiple times. If you prefer a longer trip, you can visit our rental points in Aalst or Overboelare.

Open from April 3rd to the end of September on weekends, and also on Thursdays and Fridays during school holidays, from 1 pm to 6 pm. We are closed from Monday through Wednesday.

From Denderleeuw, you can depart with (unsinkable) canoes for a sporty yet relaxing trip on the Dender. Between the 2 adults, there is also room for a child (up to about 10 years old) or a small dog to enjoy the canoe trip.

It is advisable to bring a waterproof bag, sunscreen, a hat, and drinks. In Denderleeuw, you paddle back and forth between the two locks. This trip takes an average of 1 hour. The departure and arrival point are the same, so you will paddle the route there and back.

At the start, participants must submit a driver's license or identity card as a deposit for the received equipment. In case of loss or damage, you must compensate for this equipment (paddle €25 - life jacket €55).

In dangerous conditions (e.g., high water level), the canoe rental can be closed. In this case, there is no right to compensation. You can choose another moment to come paddle, or the registration fee will be refunded.
