An invasive species problem we don’t have: Feral camels!
The NYs Barge canal has been very popular with touring recreational boaters for decades; NHPTV ran a half-hour travelogue in 2004 (unsure of exact year) starring singer Johnathan Edwards in "Cruising America's Waterways". Three programs focused on touring the NYS barge (Erie) canal.
IIRC, The most recent "modernization" occured in the 1930s, and it has been in use since. The canal will shortly undergo its winter shutdown, when the Canal Authority raises (removes) the artifical dams on the Mohawk river.
