Erie canal still exists like the Panama canal with massive

My query was about the canal, not locks.

The Mississippi has locks in the re-direction of that and more and more.

I don't really recall many locks on the lower Mississippi.

Look at the Erie canal - what are the locks for ?


Does that still exist in operation ANYWHERE?
It used to go very near a house I once lived in in Ohio IIRC.
Buckeye Lake in Ohio was constructed to provide
some of it's water IIRC.
