Yes there were other canals built because of the success of the Erie Canal. Canada built one and Ohio built several.
Many of the canals were built north of the Ohio River and in the Northeast due to the region's dense population, economic activity, and industrial growth during the 19th century. The Northeast had established cities and markets that required efficient transportation for goods and resources. Additionally, the geography of the area, with its rivers and lakes, made it suitable for canal construction, facilitating trade and movement between urban centers. Overall, the canals supported the burgeoning economy and helped connect agricultural regions with industrial hubs.
No the Erie Canal did not join the Ohio River. But New York was not the only state that built canals. The state of Ohio also built canals. The Miami and Erie Canal went to the Ohio River. The Erie and Ohio Canal also reached the Ohio River. Neither of these canals were as successful as the Erie Canal.
