    The Canal de Bergues (French: Canal de Bergues) is a nearly 8 km long canal that connects the Kolme River at Sint-Winoksbergen with the port of Dunkirk.
    The canal was dug in 1499 by deepening the Gersta River. This was one of the many creeks that plowed through the coastal area of French Flanders and were incorporated into the drainage system after its reclamation. The Gersta was located between Sint-Winoksbergen and Dunkirk. The canal was dug in an attempt to provide the ailing port of Sint-Winoksbergen with a shorter outlet to the sea. It was subsequently deepened in 1574, 1621, and 1761, making it one of the oldest canals in France.
