The Mijzenpolder is located near the much more famous Eilandspolder on the other side of Schermerhorn. It is a lot smaller and less well known. By the latter is especially a lot quieter. You can see and hear birds like the black-tailed godwit, the redshank, the lapwing, the oystercatcher, the shoveler and the skylark in abundance. Although the area is accessible year-round, it is best not to visit during the breeding season to allow the birds their rest. There is little construction. Except along the ring dike, there is actually only one farm in the polder. This is at the end of the only road on the place where from about 1000 to 1745 the Mijzenkerkje stood. The polder consists almost entirely of grassland and because there are no trees you can see the ring dike in all directions. There are two places where you can enter the polder by canoe. First at Het Zwet near the church of Schermerhorn, and second at a pumping station between Ursem and Avenhorn. You can also paddle through the ring canal around the polder, the round trip U.S.A." (Ursem-Schermerhorn-Avenhorn). This is a trip of about 12 kilometers.
