Riverhurst Ferry

The ferry is operated by the Saskatchewan Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure, and travels a distance of some 1.5 kilometres (0.93 mi).

[1] The ferry operates only during the ice-free season; during the winter months, the provincial government lays out and maintains an ice road[2] across the lake.

[3] The Riverhurst Ferry is Saskatchewan's largest ferry, with a length of 35.6 metres (117 ft), a width of 14 metres (46 ft), and a load limit 90.7 tonnes (89.3 long tons; 100.0 short tons).

In 2003, the Riverhurst Ferry was renovated, with additions of a new drive system, control tower and passenger areas, including restrooms and a small lounge.

After the renovations, the ferry was plagued with technical difficulties involving the drive system.
