Does anybody know if the Big Bar Ferry is still open for vehicles or has it been pulled out for the winter already?
Thanks

if you are towing a trailer you must be less than 40 feet axle to axle

I crossed the ferry on the 12th and they only had about 18 inches of ramp left because of low water. The ferryman told us its hit and miss right now, and it could close anyday unless the river comes up.
