Ferry presents alternative weekend schedule

Cave-In-Rock Ferry, which had ceased weekend operations last week due to a pilot shortage, has announced a temporary schedule to restore seven-day-a-week service. 

Crittenden County Judge-Executive Perry Newcom stated that the new schedule is a short-term solution while the ferry’s owner works to recruit additional pilots. 

Starting this weekend, the ferry will operate on Saturdays and Sundays from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. (12-hour schedule), and continue its weekday service from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. (16-hour schedule, Monday through Friday).
