Why we love it

The Washington Island Ferry is more than transportation—it is the beginning of the adventure. The beautiful 30-minute ride across Death’s Door offers fresh air, island views, and that wonderful feeling of leaving everyday life behind as you head toward Washington Island or Rock Island.

It is one of those classic Door County experiences that makes the journey just as memorable as the destination.
