The Otheensche Kreek is a fairly wide creek in Zeeland Flanders, named after the village of Othene that has since been absorbed by Terneuzen. The northern part of the Otheensche kreek is currently located in the city of Terneuzen. The Otheensche kreek once started as the Notense Geul, an outlet of the Honte. The Otheensche kreek has become increasingly fresh over the years and is currently a reservoir for fresh water. The creek covers approximately 100 hectares and is on average three meters deep, with a six-meter well here and there. Because the creek is considered a swimming water, there is more control over the quality of the water, which only increases the quality of the water, which also benefits the fish population. In this way, the creek is also suitable as a fishing water. The Otheensche kreek is divided in two by the Kraagbrug. Source Wikipedia

With an area of 39 hectares, the Boerekreek is the largest in the region. Long ago called the Grote Geule, you can view it from the Leopold Canal and from the road to Sint-Jan-in-Eremo. There is also a Bloso water sports center where you can park (not always open). From the Leopold Canal (east of the Sint-Jansbrug) you can see part of the part managed by Natuurpunt and an information board a little further. Attention: the part with the footpath and Instagram sign that is occasionally shown here between the photos is on the Oostpolder Creek on the other side of the road.

The Bentillekreek is the only creek in the Sint-Margriete and Sint-Jan-in-Eremo creek area south of the Leopold Canal. It is also the only one with sandy soils instead of clay soils and even the only one that was scoured out in the sand area in the sand area. Like the other four creeks, it is an old peat pit. Fishing is allowed on a part of the Bentillekreek (indicated with color codes on signs). Together with various partners, Natuurpunt, which also takes care of the management, also planted a native orchard here with old local fruit varieties. In 2020 and 2021, a family route was also developed for which Natuurpunt placed picnic benches with a board game. At the picnic bench at the Bentillekreek you will also find information boards and extra seats. There is a good chance that you will spot kingfishers in the area. There is a footpath that takes you from the towpath along the Leopold Canal to beautiful viewpoints, the creek, the orchard and the benches.
