Groninger Kanovereniging (GKV) is a large paddling club based at Hoornsedijk 4 in Haren, with around 220 members, making it one of the biggest canoe clubs in the Netherlands.

The club's facilities sit alongside the Hoornsediep, with direct water access to the Paterswoldsemeer and Hoornsemeer, as well as a connection to Groningen via the Noord-Willemskanaal.

Paddlers passing along the Hoornsediep on touring routes will find the clubhouse on the water's edge, with a public kayak pier located a short distance further along.

The club covers a wide range of disciplines including touring, sea kayaking, flatwater racing, canoe polo, and stand-up paddleboarding. Courses are open to non-members as well.
