The Erie Canal is a waterway in New York that runs about 363 miles from Albany, New York on the Hudson River to Buffalo, New York at Lake Erie, completing a navigable water route from the Atlantic Ocean to the Great Lakes. The Erie Canal, built in the 1820s, opened the Midwest to development and helped New York City become a worldwide trading center. The original Erie Canal locks were 90 feet long and 15 feet wide, and were designed for a canal boat 61 feet long and 7 feet wide, with a 3 1/2 foot draft.
