Mini Day Trip discovery - ferry boat still runs daily
2019-07-25 - Monroe County, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com
While waiting for our 'Red Barn Barbecue', we noticed a picture of a ferry boat on the wall and asked about it. It's still running in a part of Monroe County that can be reached, from Tompkinsville, only by crossing the Cumberland River on that ferry. It takes you to the scenic Turkey Neck Bend area. At one time, the ferry was considered one of the best steamboat landings along the upper Cumberland River. It is free and is the only state-operated ferry in Kentucky. To get to the Cumberland River Ferry from downtown Tompkinsville, take Hwy 100, connect onto a winding Hwy 214 which takes you directly to the Cumberland River. Comments | Permalink
