Saving Grace!
Mar 2021 • Family
On our way to the airport to drop friends we noticed that travel on the other side of the road was backed up for miles. We were really dreading the trip back when we remembered the ferry. What a life saver! It was relaxing and got us across the river in no time. Also it was only $5!

Have to take the Ferry, good for all
Oct 2020
For 5.00 you can sit back and enjoy this trip across the Ohio, One of the oldest operating Ferry's left. If you have never done then this is good one, easy access on and off, good to get to downtown Cincinnati. Recommend to and for all.

Safe and efficient

My husband uses this daily for work, from west side to ky is easier than 75.... my only wish is they'd have a more modern multi pass card... one being mailed to you is never promising

A bucket list destination
Oct 2019
Anderson Ferry -almost 50 years of enjoying the ride!
This should be a bucket list destination for folks nearby.
If you haven’t taken this ride - DO IT!
What a pleasant way to sit back, relax, and enjoy the Ohio River and the surrounding beauty. Hell, this folks take better care of their equipment/rigs than what is taken on many of the local bridges across the river.
My first ferry ride was back around 1970. Since then, I have moved out of the area, but when returning, especially in the fall, I make it point to do it again, and love it every time.

Fun any time, great when it lets you avoid I-75 traffic on the Kentucky side
Sep 2019
We used the ferry recently after picking up a friend at the airport. We were taking him to see his sick father in a Clifton hospital. The traffic on 75 was awful. Then we remembered the ferry. A quick trip down the hill brought us right to the ferry. It was so beautiful and tranquil crossing the river.

The tradition will continue
Oct 2019 • Friends
My parents always took the ferry across the river when we went to the airport.
So of course , when I was taking my daughter to the airport, I had to do the same. It was a little out of our way but oh to keep the tradition going was so special.
She loved it and was glad that we took the ferry and shared the history that went along with it.

A pleasure and a treasure
Aug 2019
Short wait, avoided all the road traffic and cut my travel time by at least 45 min. The road to and back was easy although I doubt a motor-home can maneuver it easily. The Ohio river crossing was smooth and idealistic a pleasure and relaxing way to cross the river.

Hi, the ferry is reached easily by taking Rt 50 west all along the Ohio River about 10 miles from Cincinnati. Anderson Ferry Rd is sort of perpendicular to Rt 50, & just a locator for this. You can almost see the ferry access on the river. Turn left, go over the tracks & you are there. When you arrive on the Kentucky side, you will need to turn right/west coming off the ferry on Rt 8, & then left on Rt 20 & up to I-275 for a major highway.

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

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.

Where does this land on the kentucky side and any nearby attractions there? We would be on foot. Ty!

Rt 8 in KY is a popular motorcycle and bicycle road to ride.... Going West to its termination, and then back again. The apple orchard/farm is the ONLY attraction with limited hours, but again a real blast with the kids in the fall around Halloween pumpkin picking time.! Lifetime photographic moments with your young ones.
