Fodor's Review:

Down a path from the Chapel of the Transfiguration, the ferry on display is not the original, but it's an accurate re-creation of the double-pontoon craft built by Bill Menor in 1894. It demonstrates how people crossed the Snake River before bridges were built. In the cluster of turn-of-the-20th-century buildings there are historical displays, including a photo collection of historic shots taken in the area; one building has been turned into a small general store. You can pick up a pamphlet for a self-guided tour. Check out the nearby general supplies store where candy and pop are sold in the summer. The ferry typically runs after spring runoff, between June and August, and only when a park ranger is available to operate it.

  • Open: Year-round, dawn-dusk
