About the
location
Discover Ghent from the water with Paddle Share!
Start your adventure at Houtdok and paddle through the city's historic waterways. Nearby you'll find the lively Kapitein Zeppospark , with a sports area, playgrounds and a beach to relax on.
From the Houtdok you paddle via the Dampoort and join the Paddle Route towards the green Keizerpark . With a short portage you reach the Franse Vaart , after which you complete the loop via the Reep. Here a unique finale awaits: the canoe chute , with which you quickly return to Porta Ganda.
A beautiful tour through the heart of Ghent, full of nature, heritage and adventure!
