Ferry remains closed today due to high winds

Cave-in-Rock Ferry will remain closed on Sunday due to wind gusts that make its potentially hazardous to operate.

The ferry closed at 5pm Saturday due to high winds on the Ohio River.

The ferry will remain closed until it's safe to navigate the river. 

Winds were out of the west at about 25 miles per hour yesterday with gusts to 32 mph. When the wind is out of the west it interacts with current in the river to create choppy conditions. Similar conditions are forecast for Sunday.
