The canal played an important role in Ypres’ medieval cloth industry and was a strategic location during the First World War, with monuments commemorating the war, such as the John McCrae Site and the Van Raemdonck brothers monument. Today, the canal is mainly used for recreation, such as walking, cycling and boating.

The Ieperlee is a partly canalized watercourse in the Belgian province of West Flanders. The Ieperlee runs from the West Flemish Heuvelland via the city of Ypres to the river Yser, near the Knokkebrug on the border of Diksmuide, Houthulst and Lo-Reninge. The Ieperlee has been canalized between Ypres and the Yser and is also referred to as the Ypres-Yser Canal there. This canal is 17 km long. Along the left bank of the canal, the Oude Ypreslee runs somewhat parallel, which discharges into the canal at Drie Grachten.
