The canal has a length of about 26 kilometers, and was built in the middle of the 1800s.[1] In Borkowice, close to Mosina, a small hydroelectric plant built in the 1990s interrupts the channel.[2]
Mosiński Canal is one of the four Obrzańskich channels in the Obra watershed. The others are the Kanał Północny, the Kanał Środkowy, and the "Island" canals which connect to the Obrzyca River.
