Fun, modest ferry service linking the US and Canada. One way auto price of $ 7 seemed a bit high for the short 15 — 20 minute trip. Refreshingly modest(compared to Detroit/Windsor) customs operations on both sides of the river. Also includes beautiful views of the St. Clair River with your ticket. The ferry itself has no concessions and no restrooms, so come prepared!

Quiet little ferry, the next one south of the Blue Water ferry between Marine City, MI and Sombra, ON. Very similar ship, but a little less going on in Walpole versus Sombra. The ferry holds ~6−9 cars, and welcomes motorcycles, bikes, small-to-midsize campers, and the like. Figure ~6 minutes to cross, with ferries leaving every ~30 minutes. Much calmer than the Ambassador Bridge, but not a great place to be in a hurry. The Michigan terminus is on a fairly built-up part of the shore; there was a classic car show when I arrived, with people parking at the strip malls across the road. The Walpole Island side(aka«Walpole Island Indian Reserve No. 46») is much quieter, with a pretty basic convenience store, a few discount tobacco shops, and not much else. Kids and dogs seemed pretty happy playing in the street, and were unconcerned by my presence.
