Residents and visitors of Door County have been notified that the Washington Island Ferry is cancelling its scheduled late day crossings Wednesday, and all morning sailings on Thursday, due to unsafe conditions.

The affected service includes the final round?trip this Wednesday evening and the first runs Thursday morning, meaning no regular crossings between Northport Pier on the peninsula and Washington Island until later Thursday.

The ferry line, which normally runs multiple trips daily year?round, says the cancellation is a precaution in response to adverse weather and water conditions.

This disruption may affect plans of local residents commuting to the island, visitors planning day trips, and those with reservations. The ferry line recommends checking its website or calling ahead before heading to the dock.   For now, the ferry is expected to resume normal sailings later Thursday, though final confirmation will come from the ferry line itself.
