The Prosika Canal is an 800m long connection between Lake Vran and the Adriatic Sea with the Pirovacki Zalev. It was built between 1752 and 1770 for the purpose of reclamation of the swampy Vransko area. The work was initiated and started by Prince Franjo Borelli Vranski and continued by his descendants. When the 3m wide canal was finished and the final breakthrough was made, the wave of water swept all the way to the town of Betina on Murter and the level of Lake Vrana dropped permanently by 3m. In 1948 the canal was widened to 8m, a threshold was built on the Adriatic side, 30cm above sea level and a collecting basin for migratory eels, catfish, mullet and carp. Today only remnants of it remain.
On the side of the lake is a small harbor and the buildings of the nature park.
