🚨 BIG NEWS 🚨
We're excited to announce the newest addition to the Miller Ferry fleet, the MINI MILLER. She fits 8 cars, 100 people & is already booked everyday this year for private charters. Listen for the mini HONK & wave when you're on Lake Erie this summer!
With these extreme W. winds the lake water from West Lake Erie has been “pushed” to east. Our ferries are now resting on the harbor floor (ferries are safe & secure however).

No ferries. No planes.
The lingering fog means there is no getting to/from the Lake Erie Islands. Island residents that need to travel, wait for the fog to clear to get home or off the island.

Steam (aka sea smoke) pouring off the Lake Erie surface. The "smoke" is water vapor that rises & condenses into fog since the cold air above is already saturated with water.

How do you know you’re on the last ferry of the season?
That HONK!
Thanks for riding with us. We can’t wait to see you & the warm sun on Lake Erie in spring.

“What do you do on the islands in the winter?”
A popular winter activity is ice fishing. On a sunny day, you see dozens of shanties off Put-in-Bay’s West Shore. In summer, this is part of the route you take if traveling with us to Middle Bass Island!
