Ironton Ferry

This ferry crosses Lake Charlevoix several times a day during the summer months. It can car four autos at a time. The ferry has been in operation since the end of the 19th century. The first vessel was pulled by the ferryman by hand. In 1927 the first vessel, a scow, was replaced by this ferry. In 1936 the ferry and it's operator made Ripley's Believe it or not.

I've only been to Charlevoix once seriously...drove throught it a couple of times...I never saw this. Lake Michigan is the best!
