Fort Fisher South Port Ferry Terminal

Highlight • Rest Area

The Fort Fisher Ferry offers a scenic 35-minute ride across the Cape Fear River, connecting Fort Fisher and Southport, bypassing an otherwise long inland route. It operates daily, year-round, with crossings roughly every 45 minutes in the off-season and up to 16 trips per day in the summer. Fares are $1 for walk-on passengers and $2 for cyclists. There are no bike racks on board, so you'll need to keep your bike with you during the crossing. It's a smooth passage with beautiful river views, and definitely worth the trip.
