    How cool is this Chain Ferry? It is the oldest and also the only one still in existence. Although…read moreI must admit we did talk about building one on the east coast while we were riding it haha. The ride was so cheap - I think it was $3 and it was well worth the price. And the college kids operating it were awesome. They let the kids in our group crank the wheel which they absolutely loved while simultaneously giving the worker guys a little break. The guys told me they have the best summer job in the world and I kinda agree.

    If you're not giving the Chain Ferry 5-stars for simply being a super unique experience, who even…read moreare you? When I learned that this was the only one of it's kind left, I knew we had to hop on, and seeing that little boat being pulled across the river was about the most adorable piece of history I've ever observed. The operators really made the ride, sharing history, local insights, and letting us all get in on the crank (that's how you pull the boat silly)! The ride is short, costs about $3, and goes from downtown Saugatuck to Douglas on the other side of the Kalamzoo river. On the Douglas side you've got a few opportunities to experience local history and the outdoors. I loved how the operators had great descriptions and info about all of them and were happy to direct you. They even stayed at the dock and made sure everyone knew where they were going! What a fun, albeit brief experience!
