| History | |
The Wahkiakum County Ferry is a ferry that crosses the lower Columbia River between the U.S. states of Washington and Oregon, and is the last regularly scheduled car ferry to cross the Columbia River between the two states. The ferry Wahkiakum is operated by Wahkiakum County, Washington and runs between Cathlamet, Washington and Westport, Oregon. According to the Wakiakum Chamber of Commerce, the ferry holds nine cars, and a ride across the Columbia takes about ten minutes.[1]
The ferry is located at the terminus of State Route 409, and actually departs from Puget Island, Washington. SR 409 is a spur from State Route 4, and the ferry thus connects that highway to U.S. Route 30 in Oregon.
The ferry runs hourly (on the hour from the Washington side and 15 minutes after the hour from the Oregon side) from 5 a.m.-10:15 p.m. 365 days a year. Lunch time service is sometimes interrupted.
