Watersportbaan Tilburg

Watersportbaan Tilburg is a dedicated rowing and canoeing course situated on the Wilhelminakanaal, near the recreational park Beekse Bergen in the municipality of Hilvarenbeek close to Tilburg.

The course was constructed in 1977–1978 as a widening of the Wilhelminakanaal into a four-lane, 2,000-meter rowing course, making it one of only three such dedicated facilities in the Netherlands. The site serves as home base for two rowing clubs — T. S. R.

Vidar and the Tilburgse Open Roeivereniging (TOR) — as well as the KanoClub Tilburg.

Because regular commercial shipping continues to use the Wilhelminakanaal, the course has a semi-permanent character; race infrastructure such as start platforms, lane markers, and distance markers must be assembled and removed for each competition, and permits for temporary navigation closures are required.

The venue regularly hosts national and international rowing and canoeing competitions as well as training camps.
