Quick and Fun Activity with Kids!
The last of 100 ferries that were once used to cross the Potomac, the historic ferry runs on a wire and carries cars, bikes, and pedestrians across the river. It is $5 dollars each way or $8 round trip and only takes five minutes to cross. The ferry station sells groceries and bait and also provides motorless boat rentals. It won’t save you any time in transit if you are DC bound from Harper's Ferry or other nearby destinations, but it is on the way and adds less than twenty minutes for a unique experience the kids will love.
Additionally, when you go this way, there are many strawberry farms and farm stands along the way to stock up on fresh local produce!
