The Augusta Ferry shuttles automobiles and passengers across the Ohio River between Augusta, Kentucky and U.S. Route 52 in Ohio, one mile west of Higginsport.

 

Dating to April 2, 1798, the Augusta Ferry was operated by John Boude and was known as Boude's Ferry.

 

Currently, the ferry operates via the Jenny Ann under the Augusta Ferry Authority, Incorporated. The cost is $5 for one-way, while foot travelers may use the service for free. The ferry operates seven days a week from 8 A.M. to 8 P.M.

 

The following photographs were taken last year in November:

gerat photos.  I love the fog.  The photos look like set stills.

Build the bridge!!!

Very nice.  I recall the old ferry from Vevay to Ghent...that was still in business back in the 1970s, before they built the road over Markland Dam.

 

I think, other than Anderson Ferry and this one, the only other one left is a ferry down at Cave In Rock or Shawneetown, between KY and Illinois.  A part of the Ohio I know little about.

... and the one at between Fly, OH and Sistersville, WV. According to various sources, it's the oldest one of the four remaining, having operated since 1817.

 

Beautiful shots, Sherman. The light and the mist really work together.

Nice photos.  My longest bike trip was from Cincinnati, to Augusta, across the ferry and back on the Ky side.  Those were the days when I could just take a day off and do whatever I wanted.
