Is there a navigable water way from Erie to Ontario?

Yes.
Can not recall the name of it. It has locks and everything. I've seen them.

Lockes are one thing and open water way another I guess. Is that commercial only or can pleasure craft use it to? I don't think Qweaver is sailing a cargo ship. ;)

SD, pleasure craft can go through the locks as well. I've been through them myself and it's an interesting and very long journey  :)
Most people just find it easier and less stressful to have their boats loaded on to a vessel and wait for their boats on the other end.

Yes it looks like 11 hours, to go nowhere. Not much distance anyway, by land. ;D ;)

That was a great video beenthere, thanks for posting.

I thought there was a waterway, but I didn't know just how it went.

I do remember way back in school we were tought that ocean-going vessels could enter the St Lawrence River and travel by water, all the way to Milwaukee Wisconsin.

it was interesting for the first couple of locks. After that it was deadly dull.

I guess I should have said is there a way through the US and I guess there is not.

I believe you can take the Erie canal to the Oswego canal, but it would be a long trip.
