Washington Island Ferry Line View our new, searchable schedule on any device: http://www.wisferry.com/ The Washington Island Ferry Line was started in 1940 with two existing wooden ferries.
(649)

When you reach the end of Highway 42, at the tip of Wisconsin’s Door County peninsula, you’ll find Northport Pier and the Washington Island Ferry Line. Over the years steel ferries were added and today the line boasts four modern, Coast Guard-approved vessels that make up to 25 round trips a day during high season and two round trips per day in winter. After vehicles and passengers are safely on board, the ferry will embark on a 30-minute ride past Plum, Pilot and Detroit Islands. This area is filled with history. You will be making the same passage as the Native Americans who paddled their canoes from island to island, French explorers who came to the area and schooners that traveled the area a century ago. Relax and enjoy the ride!

Cherry Train tours have been added on Sun Oct 11 & Mon Oct 12 for the holiday weekend.
