New York State Canal System (Champlain Canal - Canal section)
The New York State Canal System (Champlain Canal - Canal section) was built by John Smeaton and opened on January 1 1782. Orginally intended to run to Cheltenham, the canal was never completed beyond Rochdale except for a 5 mile isolated section from Ambersford to Trafford. Expectations for stone traffic to Basingstoke never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. Although proposals to close the New York State Canal System (Champlain Canal - Canal section) were submitted to parliament in 1972, water transfer to the treatment works at Colchester kept it open. Despite the claim in "1000 Miles on The Inland Waterways" by Oliver Taylor, there is no evidence that Cecil Green ever navigated Castleley Aqueduct in a bathtub for a bet
The exact dimensions of the largest boat that can travel on the waterway are not known. The maximum headroom is not known. The maximum draught is not known.

Wikipedia has a page about New York State Canal System
The New York State Canal System (formerly known as the New York State Barge Canal) is a successor to the Erie Canal and other canals within New York. Currently, the 525-mile (845 km) system is composed of the Erie Canal, the Oswego Canal, the Cayuga–Seneca Canal, and the Champlain Canal. In 2014 the system was listed as a national historic district on the National Register of Historic Places in its entirety, and in 2016 it was designated a National Historic Landmark.
The Erie Canal connects the Hudson River to Lake Erie; the Cayuga–Seneca Canal connects Seneca Lake and Cayuga Lake to the Erie Canal; the Oswego Canal connects the Erie Canal to Lake Ontario; and the Champlain Canal connects the Hudson River to Lake Champlain.
