Canceled
Unfortunately the ferry no longer services the lower ferry stop. Sorry for the inconvenience.
This Ferry stop is a two minute walk, alternating between being the first and last stop, ie. sometimes the ferry goes straight to town and sometimes it reverses to the scenic route, which will take you to two more stops [Hudson's and Salt Kettle]before reaching Hamilton.
