Green River Ferry

Green River bisects Mammoth Cave National Park, and can be crossed within the park via Green River Ferry or Houchins Ferry—two of the few operating rural ferries in America.

Green River Ferry operates year-round, 6:00am-9:55pm.

Houchins Ferry operates March-November, 10:15am-6:00pm.

Ferry operations are subject to water levels on the Green River, and operations may be affected by high or low water. You may call the Ferry Hotline at (270)758-2166 for current information. In the event of ferry closure, the nearest crossing is in Brownsville.

Vehicles boarding the ferries must not exceed 8 tons, and have a length no more than 16 feet.
