Here are two pictures of canal boats in the Historic Piqua Area of the Miami & Erie canal. This canal ran from the Ohio River in Cincinnati to Lake Erie in Toledo. we on the eastern half had the Ohio and Erie canal that ran from Lake Erie in Cleveland to Portsmouth on the Ohio river.
I hope every one found this little piece of Ohio History interesting. I know I have.
I forgot to mention the canal boat ride located near Toledo. it is located in the toledo metoparks.
