Even today with the Astoria-Megler Bridge near the mouth and the Lewis and Clark Bridge at Longview, there still remains a gap of about fifty miles without a bridge. That&#8217;s why the Ferry Wahkiakum exists near the halfway point between the two, the only way to cross between the states within the otherwise long bridgeless gap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wahkiakum County, Washington was named for Chief Wahkiakum (&#8220;Tall Timber&#8221;) of the Chinook tribe. In turn, the ferry was named for the county and also provided its only connection to the state of Oregon. An historical sign posted at the ferry terminal explained that ferry service has connected Washington&#8217;s Puget Island to the Oregon side of the river at this point since 1925.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Back then there were two ferries, one connecting Puget Island to the rest of Washington (now served by a bridge) and another from the island across the Columbia River into Oregon (the same route as the current Ferry Wahkiakum). The ferry operator used his Buick touring car to take foot passengers across the island from one ferry to the other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wahkiakum County purchased the ferry from private owners in 1962 and has operated the ferry as a public service ever since then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Catching the Ferry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/96225726@N08\/8873402386\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/5458\/8873402386_6fbdd2528a_o.jpg\" alt=\"Ferry at Washington\"\/><\/a><figcaption>Ferry on the Washington Side<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The ferry was easy and convenient.

The ferry may be a convenience and a shortcut for the residents of Wahkiakum County. For the rest of us, it&#8217;s an excuse to take a scenic drive punctuated by a ride across the water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ferry docked soon enough and we rolled onto the deck. Ferry Wahkiakum might hold about nine cars per crossing, and we were the first on for this particular crossing. A deckhand collected the fare and the boat fired-up its engines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Crossing the Columbia River<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/96225726@N08\/8872784233\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/2863\/8872784233_81b9c704eb_o.jpg\" alt=\"Westport Ferry Landing\"\/><\/a><figcaption>Approaching the Oregon Side<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It didn&#8217;t take long for the Ferry Wahkiakum to make its one-and-a-half mile run across the Columbia River.
