    Hiking

    This creek is an offshoot of the Moerspeye (the remainder of which is now called the Moerspuische Watergang) which was connected to the Honte (the part of the Scheldt estuary that later developed into the Western Scheldt) via the Braakman, a sea arm in the Netherlands.
    In 1767, the Moerspuipolder was diked, but the Pereboomsgat, which was not entirely on 'Staten Bodem', remained untouched. That is why the dike had to be built right through the creek.

    Hiking

    The Perenboomsgat is one of the creeks that is silting up to some extent, creating striking reed lands. The entire southern part of the horseshoe-shaped creek has silted up.
    In the northern part, there is still an open water section in the west, although strong silting is already occurring here too. Part of this creek remnant lies on Dutch territory, where the banks are managed naturally.
    The Grote Kreek and Pereboomsgat creeks contain little brackish water and therefore have a lower salt content than, for example, the Sint-Elooiskreek located slightly further west.
