Great historic experience. We took a little detour just to use it. The guys were great and safety minded.

9/19/21 Being the oldest continuously operating ferry in the country makes me wonder how I've never used this historic treasure before now.
It's actually a barge, guided by a very small tug boat, making it a quaint and interesting mode of crossing the Connecticut River.
It holds a mere 3 cars (and in my case, 3 cars plus my motorcycle).
Crossing takes about 5 minutes, and affords a scenic view of the river and environs.
Six bucks for passage on a weekend is a bargain in my book, considering how enjoyable riding a piece of floating history it is.
It also is invaluable to some commuters and bicyclists that have no real other way to get across the river, without going eleven miles to the next closest bridge crossing.
It's great as no more than a tourist attraction in my case!
Loved the ride. You will too!

This is the BEST way to get across the CT River. My husband and I use it all the time. All the people who work on it are friendly and super nice.

Great place to take you dog for a walk and look at the river. Beautiful place to get some nice pictures as well.

One of the hidden gems of Glastonbury and Rocky Hill! Great walking and biking on both sides of the river. A flat, scenic ride through farmland and along the river will lead you to Old Wethersfield.
