The Haarlemse Kano Vereniging (HKV), founded on 27 September 1929, is one of the oldest canoe clubs in the Netherlands.

Situated on the Zuider Buiten-Spaarne at Noord Schalkwijkerweg 99 in Haarlem, the club has its own small inner harbour and serves as a practical water-access point for paddlers exploring the region.

HKV supports three disciplines: flatwater paddling (recreational), sea kayaking (adventure-oriented), and SUP boarding (competition-focused).

The club hosts well-established annual events, including the Bollentocht — a multi-distance kayak tour toward the Keukenhof — and the Molentocht, a 21-kilometre windmill route.

The site also functions as the starting point for the popular Kanoroute Spaarne & Mooie Nel, which takes paddlers north along the Spaarne past several forts of the Stelling van Amsterdam.
