Green River Ferry, Mammoth Cave National Park, Kentucky, May 25, 2009
Itty-Bitty River Ferry2
There is a very small car ferry that crosses the Green River in Mammoth Cave National Park. Opened in 1934, the ferry is attached to a cable as it crosses the river. It can transport up to two vehicles at a time, has a maximum weight limit of 8 tons, and no vehicle can exceed 16 feet in length. There has long been talk of building a bridge to replace it, but because of the small traffic volume along the road, and the concern that a bridge would damage the environment and natural beauty of the area, it will probably never be built.
The ferry operates every day except Christmas. It is closed during times of high water, or when the river is frozen, so in winter and spring it’s best to call ahead.
