It connects the New York and Vermont segments of State Route 74 The ferry can carry up to 18 cars and has a weight limit of 15 tons. The ferry operates seasonally, from May to October. The crossing takes seven minutes, and there are three crossings every hour.[1] Cars are charged $12 one way, or $20 for a round trip. The ferry has been regularly operating in some form since 1759, but regular operation only began in 1823.[2] The ferry uses a cable system consisting of two 1.1-inch (2.8 cm) steel cables aligned in parallel. The ferry did not operate between 2020 and 2022 due to both concerns over the COVID-19 pandemic, and litigation between the ex-owner and the current owner.[3]
