The Eindhovensch Kanaal (or Eindhovens Kanaal; Engl: Eindhoven Canal) is a canal in the Dutch province of North Brabant. It connects the center of Eindhoven with the Zuid-Willemsvaart. It was dug in the period 1843-1846, commissioned by the town of Eindhoven. The canal is 13.9 kilometers long and runs by a number of Eindhoven industrial areas and the towns of Geldrop, Mierlo and Helmond. The canal runs over the Kleine Dommel and the Goorloop, which are led under the canal by ducts. The canal has not been in use for commercial shipping since 1971. However, the canal sees much recreational use; it is used for sport fishing, there is a bicycle path and a number of local rowing associations use it for practice. The spelling Eindhovensch Kanaal is old-fashioned and the common spelling in Dutch is Eindhovens Kanaal nowadays. However, Eindhovensch Kanaal is still the official spelling.
