Have you ever taken the canal? I see it goes from Lake Erie to Lake Ontario
and bypasses Niagra Falls, etc.

Is it a canal that recreational boats can use?

Tell me what you know.

Tom, Google is your friend:

NYS Barge Canal System

Their cruising guide is an excellent value and considered
indispensible by most.

The Erie Canal was built in the 1800s and no longer exists.
