Ohio and Erie Canal by Boone Triplett country roads Key moments are smoothly tiedGeorge Washington first proposed the idea of a canal connecting the Great Lakes to the Ohio Mississippi River System in 1784. Inspired by the Erie Canal in New York, the State of Ohio began surveying routes in 1822 for its own grand internal improvement project. Completed a decade later, the 309 mile long Ohio and Erie Canal connected Cleveland, Akron, Massillon, Dover, Roscoe, Newark, Columbus, Circleville, Chillicothe, Waverly, and Portsmouth.
