A new high-speed, high-tech ferry has just started a crossing Lake Michigan, from Milwaukee to Muskegon, a 76 nautical miles journey in about two and a half hours. The ferry is an affordable alternative to flying to Muskegon and is faster and more relaxing than the six-hour 286-mile drive through Chicago traffic and around the southern end of Lake Michigan. The Lake Express has a capacity of 250 passengers and 46 vehicles. Officials from the new Lake Express car-passenger ferry say thousands of tickets were pre-sold. Local attractions include Muskegon’s Pere Marquette Beach and Michigan’s Adventure amusement park, which is just north of town.

Excellent blurb on the new hydrofoil across Lake Michigan (between Wisconsin and Michigan) in the northern U.S. For us long-time lake commuters, a less expensive option is Very Happy riding the slower car ferry (SS Badger, between Manitowoc, WI and Ludington, MI) where one can sleep on the deck in lounge chairs or play bingo to Cool win a beach ball, is a cherished summer family tradition. Go Blue!
Am i the only one seeing a patern here?
