Tips

Before You Go

Arrive Early

Arrive 10–15 minutes early during busy summer weekends, especially from July through August, to secure your place on the next crossing.

Bring Cash

Cash is currently the fastest and preferred payment method. Additionally, small bills and exact change are always appreciated.

Motorcyclists

The ramp and dock are paved for easier access. As a result, riders do not need to worry about unexpected gravel near the approach area.

Check Status First

Before leaving home, check the status banner on our homepage or call the ferry hotline to confirm that crossings are operating for the day.
