It provides a short cut for vessels navigating the River Havel, linking the Jungfernsee, near Potsdam, with Paretz.
Unlike the Havel Canal, which also provides a short cut for the River Havel, and also has its downstream end at Paretz, both ends of the Sacrow–Paretz Canal are downstream of Berlin.
The canal is 12.5 kilometres (7.8 mi) long, of which 7.5 kilometres (4.7 mi) comprises artificially cut channel, whilst the rest is accounted for by several lakes.
Besides the Jungfernsee, these include the Weißer See, the Fahrlander See and the Schlänitzsee.
