Fort Ticonderoga Ferry - Transportation Near Me - Shoreham, Vermont

Established in 1759, the Fort Ticonderoga Ferry is an easy, cheap, unique and time saving way to get from NY to Vermont. We used the ferry to get to from Bolton Landing over to Mount Independence. From the NY side, just follow state route 74 through the town of Ticonderoga, past the fort and the rail station until you reach the shore of Lake Champlain. When we arrived, the ferry was on the VT side and we were 4th in line. With in 15 minutes, the ferry had off loaded its NY bound cargo, and we were rolling on. A few more cars lined up behind us while we were waiting, including a large pick up truck pulling a full size camper. The crewmen did an excellent job directing the cars to their desired spots in the ferry's three lanes, and within a few short minutes, the cable system was puling us across the lake. In under 10 minutes, we were disembarking in Vermont. The ride costs $10 one way, or $16 round trip. The ferry is operational from early May to late October, so if you're pushing the edge of the season, call ahead first. Hours of operation are 7:00 am to 7:00 pm during peak season, but they close an hour earlier outside of the summer months. Be sure to arrive at least 15 minutes before closing to make sure you catch the last ferry of the day! read more
