Last weekend my guests from Pennsylvania loved the Saugatuck Chain Ferry. It is popular with tourists. I always bring out-of-town guests to downtown Saugatuck. The kids always seem to like the hand-cranked chain ferry. It was built in 1838 to carry horses across the Kalamazoo River. It is run in association with the U.S. Coast Guard. It takes about 200 cranks to float the ferry about 100 yards to the other side. They allow you to bring bicycles, dogs and strollers on the ferry. It takes about 5 minutes to cross, but in all it is a fun way to cross the river!
