The Groesplaat is a nature reserve located in the floodplains of the Boven-Merwede. The nature reserve is quite young, it was completed in 1999. In the same year, a channel was also excavated that runs parallel to the river. The channel is now an important place for fish to spawn, and therefore also a very attractive piece of nature for fish eaters such as the cormorant and the osprey.

Groesplaat is a new nature reserve in the floodplains between the Boven-Merwede and Oudendijk, between Woudrichem and Sleeuwijk. It measures 168 ha. The Groesplaat is a largely open floodplain. A striking feature is the secondary channel running parallel to the river. Along this channel there is a swamp vegetation which gradually changes into moist to dry grasslands and brushlands. Reed swamp and rising willow forest can be found in various places. Along the river are sandy beaches followed by a sandy embankment. The nature reserve was completed in 1999 and has been managed by Brabants Landschap ever since. The area is freely accessible between sunrise and sunset. Three walking routes have been set out, but it is not allowed to deviate from the paths. The Groesplaat is separated from the Sleeuwijkse Waard by the port of Sleeuwijk.
