The Mioduński Canal (Polish: Kanał Mioduński) (German: Immenhagener Kanal) is a Mazurian canal connecting the Kotek and Szymon lakes. The road from Ruciane-Nida, Pisz and Mikołajki to Węgorzewo (via Giżycko) passes through it.
History The canal was dug in 1764-1765, but in 1789 it, along with the surrounding canals, ceased to function. It was completely destroyed during the Napoleonic wars. The canal was rebuilt during public works carried out between 1854 and 1857.
Surroundings Near the entrance to the canal on Lake Szymon, there is the only floating restaurant in Masuria: Smażalnia Wędkarska.
