Grafton Ferry, Illinois, United States
5.0 (1 review) Saturday: 10:00 AM - 10:00 PM Spent < 1 hour Ranking #16 in Grafton Ferries
Unique Transportation
The Grafton Ferry runs between St. Charles (Hwy 370, to HWY 94, to Grafton Ferry Road, follow Grafton ferry Road till it ends at the ferry entrance) and Grafton, Illinois. Not to be confused with the Golden Eagle Ferry, you will see signs for Golden Eagle Ferry, not so much for the Grafton Ferry. The Ferry was $8 for a car and $15 if you paid in advance for a round trip. At the time we went, the ferry was only running on Friday, Saturday & Sunday. They only take CASH or a check. Getting on the ferry was easy. A line forms for the ferry. Once the ferry is unloaded, they load about 15 cars on the ferry. You can get out of your car to enjoy the scenery and get some fresh air. The trip takes about 8-10 minutes. We took photos and took in the sights from the river. They do have some brochures of Grafton and Illinois on the ferry for you to take to help you explore the town while visiting. One of the members of our group had not been on the ferry and enjoyed it. The rest of us had been on a ferry before, but it is still fun to go again. I think adults enjoy this just as much as children do. Its a unique way of getting to Illinois and it takes about a half hour off your travel time. Make sure you are in your car when they doc as it is a fast paced process. Once they open the gates, you need to be ready to move.
