The Bystry Canal (Шаблон:Lang-pl, Шаблон:IPAc-pl), is a feeder canal for the Augustów Canal which was built during the 19th century in the present-day Podlaskie Voivodeship of northeastern Poland (then the Augustów Voivodeship of the Kingdom of Poland).

History

It was built in the years 1834–1835. The primary purpose was the draining of excess water from the Augustów Canal.[1] The Bystry Canal is connected with the Netta River weir with a maximum flow of water: Шаблон:Convert per second.[2] The canal flows into the north side of the Sajno Lake. The canal is used as a trail for canoeing, and is sometimes frequented by anglers. On the banks are several species of aquatic birds like swans, ducks, grebes.

The canal is a fairly lively stream channel at the beginning. Just below the weir, and the bridge carrying 29 Listopada Street (National Road 8, National Road 16, and European route E67) over the canal, it is a series of shoals and rocks with a width of approximately Шаблон:Convert. A street named after Ludwik Waryński, an activist and theoretician of the socialist movement in Poland, runs along the right bank of the canal. There are a number of houses along the edge of the water with a number of small private docks for boats and for fishing.

After Шаблон:Convert the channel becomes deeper, Шаблон:Convert, and changes from an urban character to a suburban character, especially after reaching on both sides of the spruce forest. At the Шаблон:Convert mark the canal crosses under Bohaterów Westerplatte Street (Voivodeship Road 664) which runs from Augustów south-east towards the Belarus border near Hrodna, Belarus.
