The only regularly operating ferry on the Potomac River is the General Jubal Early, owned and operated by Edwin Brown and Malcolm Brown of Dickerson. The General Early has been in operation nearly 30 years, providing reliable service except during severe ice or flood conditions on the river. White's Ferry is a popular location for fishing, especially for smallmouth bass. The store has rowboats and canoes for rent as well as groceries and bait.
Picnic tables are also available.
From Virginia, access is from Va. 655 off U.S. Route 15, about 4 miles northeast of Leesburg. There are about 200 commuters who use the ferry daily.
