The Washington Island Ferry is making two changes in the coming weeks as it prepares for the winter season. The first change begins this Friday when ferry riders will be required to make vehicle reservations. Ferry President Hoyt Purinton says there are many reasons why they make sure they have vehicle reservations phoned in during the next three months.
The Washington Island Ferry runs four round-trips between its Northport and Detroit Harbor docks until January 2nd before it cuts its number in half through March 21st.
