Bosbaan is a rowing lake situated in the Amsterdamse Bos (Amsterdam Woods) in Amstelveen, Netherlands. Amstelveen is a municipality and a city in the Netherlands and is part of the metropolitan area of Amsterdam. The Bosbaan (literal translation: Woods Course) is the oldest manmade rowing course in the world.
The course was built in 1936 as part of an employment project and originally had five lanes, but was then widened to six lanes in 1954 when Amsterdam hosted the European Rowing Championships, the first international event where women were allowed to participate as elite rowers.
Since 2001, the Bosbaan measures 2200 metres in length, 118 metres across and features 8 lanes. In July 2005 the first international championships (since the expansion of 2001) took place at the Bosbaan: the WU23 (World Championships Under 23).
