Boerekreek, Tidal creek in Sint-Laureins, Belgium.

Boerekreek is a tidal creek in the East Flanders landscape that winds through open terrain with meadows, waterways, and embankments. The provincial domain provides walking trails, cycling paths, riding facilities, and fishing spots spread across the area.

Boerekreek originated in the sixteenth century as the Grote Geule, a tidal creek of the Meetjesland creek area. It is the largest of these creeks, covering 39 hectares, and its irregular shape brings it close to the centre of Sint-Jan-in-Eremo. Only an agricultural road separates it from the Mazurekreek.

The name Grote Geule, used when the creek formed in the sixteenth century, survives in local memory alongside Boerekreek. Since 1999 the province has run the sports centre near the centre of Sint-Jan-in-Eremo, where camps and lessons are held; the new building at Sint-Jansstraat 132 opened in 2008. Natuurpunt manages the reserve section.

The area is best explored on foot, by bicycle, or on horseback using the marked trails through the open landscape. The best time to visit is during calm weather and drier months when the paths are easier to navigate.

The creek's shape is so irregular that it nearly touches the centre of Sint-Jan-in-Eremo, and only an agricultural road separates it from the Mazurekreek. Since 2008 the sports camps and lessons have run from the new building at Sint-Jansstraat 132.
