Wisconsin’s Iconic Merrimac Ferry: As Popular as Ever
With a history that dates to the 1840s, the Merrimac Ferry remains among the most popular destinations in the state of Wisconsin. Part state highway (WIS 113) and part tourist attraction, Wisconsin’s only free ferry transports around 300,000 vehicles and one million people each year across a half-mile stretch of the Wisconsin River between Sauk and Columbia counties. Who owns and operates the ferry? What should travelers keep in mind when coming aboard? These questions and more are answered in a new video produced by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation in cooperation with the Columbia County Highway Department.

Riding The Merrimac Ferry
The Merrimac Ferry is a ferry that crosses the Wisconsin River between Columbia and Sauk Counties in Wisconsin. Its western point is located near the village of Merrimac on State Highway 113. The eastern point is located in Okee, Wisconsin.
The Merrimac Ferry is both a functional regional crossing and a tourist attraction. There are snack bars at queue areas on either side of the river, and an ice cream stand on the north. It is the state's only free ferry, as well as the only ferry left on the state trunk highway network.
The ferry is close to the head of Lake Wisconsin, as well as regional recreation areas, including Devil's Lake and Wisconsin Dells. Peak traffic coincides with the tourist season and weekend getaway schedules.
