Backroad Bonus: Merrimac Ferry, Merrimac, WI

Merrimac FerryThis free ferry ride is a fantastic addition to an outing to the Devil’s Lake area.  Just drive your car aboard and in just about 5 minutes, you’re on the other side!  The ferry only holds about 15 cars so there can be a bit of a wait at the height of the day.  You can also walk aboard or take your bicycle onto the ferry.

What a great way to make a car trip memorable!

To make the whole adventure even more appealing, there is a little snack shack on the Merrimac side where you can get ice cream (sales are cash only!) or other treats.  They open at 11am.  The serving size of the ice cream is generous.  But the nice man tending the counter charged us less for a “kiddie” cup portion.

Another great reason to skip the interstate, and enjoy the less beaten path.
