This lack of knowledge is unfortunate. The Erie Canal and its tributaries do, in fact, offer something for everyone. The canal system provides shippers with an inexpensive way to move high-bulk goods like sand, cement and asphalt. It gives pleasure boaters a safe way of getting from the Great Lakes to the Atlantic.
