The service provided by the Lake Champlain Transportation Company is excellent in all of its locations, and the Cumberland Head Ferry Dock is no exception. The area surrounding the ferry dock was clean and well-kept. The loading was simple and smooth, with cars lining up in numbered lanes and entering the ferry when waved by the crew. Unloading was equally simple, with most of the heavy lifting done by the ferry crew waving cars forward out of their lanes at the right time to avoid congestion. For those concerned about sea sickness, the lake was mostly flat and the size of the vessel defeated any rocking that would be felt by smaller boats and the only sensation that could be felt was the light vibration of the ferry underfoot. Guests have the option to remain in their vehicle and experience the unusual sensation of sitting in a car and watching the landscape move around them, or getting out of their vehicle and climbing a short flight of stairs to an observation deck that offers impressive views of the Hero Islands. The price was reasonable for me, speaking as someone that doesn’t use the ferry frequently and savored the experience as a novelty in a vacation setting. However, at $11.25, plus $5 per passenger, those that required the use of the ferry more often may be tempted to crunch numbers on the cost of gas to use the bridge at the north of the lake.
