Miami and Erie Canal, Transportation waterway in Ohio, United States.
The Miami and Erie Canal extends 274 miles from Cincinnati to Toledo, connecting the Ohio River with Lake Erie through 103 locks.
Construction of the canal began in 1825 and finished in 1845, requiring an investment of 8 million dollars to complete the extensive waterway system.
German settlers established communities along the northern section of the canal, naming the area Ohio Rhineland after Germany's Rhine River.
Visitors can experience canal boat rides at Johnston Farm and Indian Agency in Piqua while learning about 19th-century transportation methods.
The canal reaches its summit at Loramie, rising 395 feet above Lake Erie and 513 feet above the Ohio River across 19 miles.
