The canal to Beverlo is a connection on the Bocholt-Herentals canal. With a length of 15 km, this is just a small canal that connects to the dock of the Kamp van Beverlo

The Canal to Beverlo is a branch of the Bocholt-Herentals Canal. It is one of the seven Kempen canals between the Maas and the Scheldt.
Construction started in 1854 and was completed three years later. The canal was dug mainly for military reasons. Shortly after the independence of Belgium in 1830, the garrison town of Leopoldsburg was established in Beverlo, which needed good access roads for the supply and transport of heavy military equipment. The canal is no longer of great importance for commercial shipping and is therefore a beautiful canal for recreation. There are eight bridges over the canal, some of which are made of wood.

The Canal to Beverlo is a branch of the Bocholt-Herentals Canal near the hamlet of "Blauwe Kei" in Lommel. It is one of the seven Kempen canals between the Maas and the Scheldt.
Construction started in 1854 and was completed three years later. The canal was dug mainly for military reasons. After the independence of Belgium, the Beverlo Camp was established in Beverlo from 1835 onwards (called Leopoldsburg from 1932). The Camp needed good access roads for the supply and transport of heavy military equipment. Afterwards, the canal also became important for the metal industry (Vieille Montagne), which settled along the canal in Balen in 1889.
The canal ends in the harbor basin of Leopoldsburg and is free of locks.
