Love Anderson Ferry

Love to ride Anderson Ferry. It cuts trip from downtown. It is a nice ride to unwind before or after work. At $5, it is worth it!

First time on the ferry.

I had found the Anderson Ferry as an attraction on TripAdvisor and knew that would be something that we were interested in doing. Although the line of cars was long, the wait time wasn't since they had two ferries running. And it did not disappoint....More

Took the Ferry for the first time!

The historic ferry celebrated their bicentennial in 2017 per their website. It is $5.00 each way for cars, cash only. We caught it on the Hebron, KY side. It took maybe 10 minutes to cross and it was a fun Sunday afternoon excursion. Once we...More

I've been wanting to take the ferry for a long time. It didn't disappoint. The wait was short, the loading easy, the crossing smooth, and exit also easy. One consideration - it is cash only or you can pre buy tickets online, if you plan...More

Nice experience, but it really serves a great transportation service !

We take the ferry in order to get from the west side of Cincinnati over to Northern Kentucky. This beats the I-75 south traffic on the bridge or going around the circle freeway. For a very reasonable price, you can ride over to Northern Kentucky...More

Quaint little ferry boat.

If you're not in a hurry and looking for something different from the norm, take the Anderson Ferry. It's kind of fun to cross the river by boat. Kids love it. Cuts a lot of miles off the drive.

How wide is the Ohio River at Anderson Ferry?

December 27, 2017|

AnswerShow all 8 answers

It is at least half a mile wide. Has a good current. The ferry has been operating for about a century and half and is on the National Register of Historic Places.

Currently how much wait time should I expect on a Saturday morning Northbound?

September 8, 2017|

AnswerShow all 2 answers

We have never waited more than 15 minutes for any trip across either way even at morning rush or quitting time. They have 2 ferries so it looks backed up they add the 2nd one.
