Never taken a ferry in my vehicle... It was pretty cool!!! Short distance but I felt safe, it was quick, secure and men guiding you on ferry with your vehicle were awesome... They didnt rush me, clearly and affectively made sure my SUV had plenty of room and wasnt scratched, etc. Took good care of me... Definitely can say Ive done this now!!! Enjoyed it!!

This is a tiny quick ferry that has to be experienced! We enjoyed a gorgeous sunset last night when we were on it.

I am sure no one cares about this review from the county, but for what it is worth here it goes. It would be nice if you could get the other boat up and running. You were closed for over a year. I would think you could get it all running as it should, and with the Fred Hartman bridge situation we could really use it.

Nice little ferry. Very short ride but can have long wait at wrong time of day

When ferry is working its great they was running only one ferry not 2 and now ferry is down again due to Hurricane Nicholas taking down some electrical lines hopefully it wont take long to get it back running

Take a trip across the Houston Ship Channel on the historic ferry boats located in Baytown, TX. The boats (William P. Hobby and Ross S. Sterling) have a maximum capacity of 10 vehicles. Crossing takes about 5-10 minutes.

Running a little slow but doing what they can

It’s not the best but I know the companies around use them to avoid traffic ..a Saturday after 9 and Sunday after 9 is a good for tamiles .. in the weekdays avoid it at all cost 😅

So happy the Lynchburg Ferry is now reopen. It was nice to see that alot of the same employees were still there. Great job on the rebuilding of the landing!

Weve taken Lynchburg ferry to the Monument Inn since it was the Lynchburg Ferry Crossing restaurant. As kids we loved it, our kids loved it and now my grandkids love it.

Best ferry experience. Good fishing spot at night as well

Always love riding the ferry ⛴ across the ship channel. So peaceful and gets me closer to home.

Found this place due to I 10 being closed. We are new to the area and was interested to see Houston had a ferry. To cool.

With all the road closures in the baytown and surrounding areas I wish they had two ferrys running. I decided to turn around after waiting 45 minutes and not even ½ way to the ferry.

Nice little trip across the water. A little time to relax after work.

The Lynchburg Ferry is no more. You cannot find that out on their website or by calling - but drive over there and it’s closed. Probably forever. Sadly. Good riddance.

Enjoyed riding this ferry on our trip. The birds were beautiful. The water looks so peaceful.

Always love taking this ferry across the channel. Lots of great texas history here and its awesome watching all the ships and tug boats cruising around as youre on the ferry.

Was great rode the small ferry over to the monument inn. it took under 5 minutes and had a blast

This is where I fish.

The bridge over the bay/channel is closed...so why is only ONE ferry running a t Lynchburg, only four cars per load

Traffic can be brutal here. Plan to leave early to avoid the bottleneck.

Excellent staff and efficient in loading and unloading people

The deck hands were fast even in the pouring rain. My wife had rode it as a child and wanted to do it again. Short ride but would recommend this to anyone looking to get to see and do something that has such a long history.

Carrying people of TEXAS and careing for people for a many of years

The ferry is under construction now..But another place to fish and crab and let the kids have fun

Wait time maybe about 5 minutes or so.

Short ride across the channel. Nothing too special.

My very first time I’ve been on a ferry! It was very efficient and quick. Good job!

Very fast great price which is free and makes a big short cut

Easy on easy off, and fast.

It takes forever to get from one side to the other. Never less than a 40 minute wait to just get ON the fairy. Why have 2 if there is only ever one running?!

Quick, small ferry

I love the ferry!!!

Ferry boats are operating again ...the monument can be seen from the ferry.

Enjoy fishing

I ride the ferry when Im not pressed for time and enjoy the short boat ride. There have been some nice improvements after they made post hurricane Harvey repairs. They have also marked the parking lines on the boats well which helps line up the cars better, safer and faster. Sometimes there is a long wait when the tankers are crossing or when traffic overflows from hwy 225 or I-10 on the other side.

Been crossing this ferry for years and since Harvey, it has improved so much. The wait depends on the traffic hour and what kind of vehicles are crossing. The ferry isnt close to the size in Galveston but gets the job done. Fun for kids that never been on one before. Cant get out of your vehicle because its small.

Harris county toll road authority

It was free

Fast ride!

So missed this place

Love to fish over here

Its always a Wonderful Surprise for Family and Friends. But its a Fantastic Adventure Especially for Kids, because theres Three Beautiful Parks each with their Own Signature Landscape View.

Adios.

Great experience and the first ferry Ive ever taken. Captain docked way more gentle then I thought he would.

Nice ride

Always a treat

Great for a small adventure!We actually saw something big leap out the water, dolphin maybe.

Convenient and friendly. Was happy when I discovered them open again just this past Sunday. Welcome back

Short ride, It will take around 5min to cross the Houston ship channel. After boarding you cant leave your vehicle. Fast, quick, and free.Sometimes there is a long wait when the ships/tankers are crossing.

Great way to get over the Ship Channel if you have time.

Nice

Hes feeling better now. Short ride cross the Ship Channel on the monument side theres a neat little Park and the monument in great place to eat seafood

It has been a great help with the I-10 closures

Free, fun transportation crossing the inner ship channel when the weather cooperates. You drive on, sit in your car (cant leave your vehicle), cross in comfort & drive off. Did I mention its free? 😀😎

Love using the ferry to get to work. Some mornings I wish both ferries were running though

Fast , quick and free way to save many miles. You can feel the history there. So happy the have kept it simple and free.

I used to love this ferry ride as a kid. Back then they had two ferries working. Now they only have one. I would never go here on a holiday again... Came to check out the Monument on spring break and sat in line for this ferry for an entire hour... Using this ferry wasted so much of my time and is very inconvenient with a new baby in tow. I could have drove around Houston in the time it took to wait for this ferry. So disappointing will not be returning. I recommend coming during school hours, in the middle of the week. The wait is not worth it!

Been faster this last days, they were using both of them, I like to go on my bike, its aleays room for a bike even woth 10 cars aboard.

Great view of the channel, ships and businesses in that area. This was our Sunday evening ride from Pasadena. Lots of fun and enjoyment.

Short ride

So fun. 1st time to drive on a little ferry.

A fun way to cross the East side of Harris County when you are enjoying the San Jacinto Monument.

Depending on traffic, it could be anywhere from 5 to 30minute wait. ride itself is very short (

Stepfather would always brings us here as kids, now Im bringing my kids here ♥️

Great Service to us Texans, safe and reliable most every day!

The ferry is a fun way to cross the channel...

Though it is a short ride this is a fun experience for anyone! And.... Its free so...The wait isnt too long either.

Rode it because of traffic on I-10, but it still was fun. Long line though, again probably because of traffic.

Got to other side without incident.

Well hidden treasures all around

Fast and free way to cross the bay

Very convenient. If youre not willing to spend, this is an excellent alternative. Love the history too.

Run one ferry during 5 pm wow that’s genius 🤬🤬

I would like to see the other ferry running so the wait isnt so long.

Nice ride across the San Jacinto river

ALways fun for the kids even if its a short trip for them 😉

Always end up here on accident. Google maps and Waze need Avoid Ferry option.

Very enjoyable. Friendly and prompt Ferry.

I love this place...always feel like life started right there

Interesting but dear god the wait is not worth it. Take the interstate.

A great part of independent parkway. Makes for a great ride when you forge streams.

You have to take the boat ride. Cant get out.of your vehicle buts its nice

Unfortunately I have to be at work earlier than the ferry opens, but I take it home from work every day. Signs on the road warning whether the ferry is open or closed is very helpful and the guys that run the ferry are very nice

My family really enjoyed using the ferry to get to/from the San Jacinto Monument for a nice weekend. Its worth trying at least once.

Safe. Quick. Reliable.

I love going to this ferry, I like watching the ships come and go.

Fast way no traffic 5 min to from monument restraunt

Saves a little time on travel. I was located in very front. My vehicle was splashed entirely with salty water. Had to immediately go and wash.

The best boat ride on the Ship Channel.

Rode for second time. Poor guidance from loaders and horrible attitude when we went wrong direction. He yells and throws his hands in the air like a child. Very poor behaviour!

The wait time is a little bit too long but it sure is fun to cross with the ferry

Kids had a blast driving onto a boat

Always a safe trip across

Nice day for outdoors

I always like getting on the ferryboats BIG or small... so cool!!!

Easy and no longer than 2 boat ride waiting period, on a Saturday afternoon​

Very quick and a short cut for certain destinations

Great service that they provide for us for free

Great way to get to the battleship and was free.
