Don't forget the other canal that opened up a lot of upper NY. The Black River canal. There are several listings of how long it was. Seventy seven miles is pretty close because part was canal and part was river. Had 109 locks and opened up the entire NE region of NY state to logging and agriculture. What is neat is how much of it is still there today. Most is dry but near Boonville and some others are boatable. Almost a 1200 foot climb up and down from Rome to Carthage, NY. Museum at Boonville.
