Uitkijk is a village in the resort of Kampong Baroe in the Saramacca District of Suriname.

The village started as a wood plantation,[1] In 1778, a military outpost was established at Uitkijk,[2] because of its strategic importance: all river traffic from Paramaribo heading west had to pass through Uitkijk.

44 of the captured slaves were born in the forest, and resettled in Uitkijk.

[4] The military outpost does not exist any more, however the police station for the region is located in Uitkijk.

[3] In 1936, a road was constructed between Hamburg and Groningen which allowed cars to travel west from Paramaribo, however at Uitkijk, a ferry was needed across the Saramacca River.
