From the Oosterschelde, you can enter the Havenkanaal (Harbor Canal) towards Goes. First, you'll pass through a lock, then the Havenkanaal, which is narrow, has shallow sides, and is 5 km long. After the Wilhelmina Bridge, you'll pass through an industrial estate before finally arriving in Goes.

Canal Goes - Goese Sas, also called Havenkanaal naar Goes[1] or the Wilhelminakanaal, is a canal of approximately 5 kilometres in length that connects the centre of Goes with the Oosterschelde. The canal flows into the Oosterschelde via the lock of the Goese Sas. There are several marinas along the canal and there is a modest industrial harbour area in Goes, where the residential area Goese Schans is planned. The canal provides food for the lake around which the Goese Meer district has been built.

A threshold has been created under water in the connection between the canal and the Goese Meer so that only boats with a draught of 0.9 metres or less can pass here. A maximum speed of 6 kilometres per hour applies on the canal and on the lake.

In the past (17th century), when Goes was still on the Schenge, the Goese fortress enclosed the stretch of canal up to the mouth.
