Basically that what it was. Owned by the State of New York, the Erie Canal is the most famous and successful of America's early towpath canals. It breached the barrier of the Appalachian Mountains to link Lake Erie with the Hudson; thus reducing transportation costs between Buffalo and New York City.
It is 363 miles in length. The New York State canal system is mostly used for recreation but still has some limited commercial traffic today.
