Contact the ferry office for rates not shown here. The Washington Island Ferry Line accepts Mastercard, Visa and Discover at its office and ticket booths. Once ice sets in, usually by the first of January, the large, open deck ferries are moored in the ice until springtime. Although ice can sometimes get two feet thick in the bay, ice in the Door region is still not stable enough to be trusted for driving on, or even walking across. Daily supplies, mail and packages, trucks and cars, are transported over the 4.5 mile route, a trip which may take several hours if the ice conditions are severe.
