my husband checked the site and said it was open this past sunday. so we decided to take our 2 yr old grandson all the way over to this dorena hickman spot only to find out it was closed and no reason why posted. anyone know why?

In June driving back from Marion, il. drove by and daughter got out saw sign and rang about 20 minutes later here it came was just a great ride took about 1'30" loved it from Missouri side

If you approach from Missouri, ring the bell on the pole.

The dredge was in town so they had to close then they had parts for maintenance that made a delay in reopening, check their facebook page for any info it's usually updated Hope this helped and I hope I'm correct

I cant answer that.

U have to wait awhile for it to go to the outher side and back

Are you sure it was closed because it takes a while to go back and forth

yes we drove over an hour to get there only to see a small sign saying 20 miles away ferry closed. we still drove there just in case and you could tell there had been no activity at all. an yes we did wait and walk around a little looking at the tugboats none of which was coming to and fro across the river all was going the way of the river
