The Madeline Island Ferry's Running Again!

On Monday April 7, the Madeline Island Ferry Line resumed its trip schedule between Bayfield, Wisconsin and Madeline Island.  The ferry line website reports that it took the "Island Queen" just over an hour on Sunday the 6th to break a path in the ice between La Pointe and Bayfield. 

The Ferry Line also reports that it has invoked a fuel surcharge to the rates published on their website and in the printed ferry schedule.  This surcharge is due to sharp increases in diesel fuel costs since last summer.

The current abbreviated ferry schedule provides for eight trips a day, with the 7:30 a.m. and 3 p.m. trips to the Island running only on weekdays until May 19.
