Migration in July 1850

Surnames: STIEGLER, OSTERMANN, EDENHARDER
According to family stories, my ancestors who arrived in port of NY on 7/15/1850, migrated, via the Eire Canal to the Great Lakes (Lake Erie). What route would they have taken from from there to Milwaukee, Wisconsin?? It is said that they traveled via the Great Lakes, but to me that would have been expensive and taken a long time. My ancestors, Johan Michael Stiegler, Maria Anna Ostermann, and friends, John and George Edenharder, arrived in Milwaukee on 7/29/1850, so they were traveling for only 4 days.
Any help is very much appreciated. Thanks in advance.!
