The historic waterway De Geeuw connects IJlst and Sneek.

De Geeuw is part of the Sneekermeer-Heegermeer connection and is therefore very busy in the summer. In Sneek, the bridge over the Stadsgracht of the Jousterkade/Oppenhuizerweg marks the end point of the river. The Stadsgracht turns into the Zomerrak. Just outside the center of the city of Sneek was the Geeuwbrug, one of the five bridges over the river. At that point the Stadsrondweg Zuid and the river crossed each other. The Yawn Bridge was the largest bridge over the river, with a height of 3 meters 16 and a width of 9 meters. In 2008, this bridge was replaced by the De Geeuw Aqueduct. The A7 and the Geeuw now cross each other here. West of IJlst, near Nijezijl, the river changes into the Wijd Draai
