Great Way to See the Waterfront with Pups
We took the ferry across the river from the historic Jamestown area to Surry for lunch and back. Dogs are allowed in vehicles on the ferry and leashed dogs are allowed to get out on the deck during the 5-7 minute ride. Our dog was a little timid at first because this was her first time on any kind of water vessel but she loved the breeze and quickly started to explore. The ferry operators were very welcoming and seemed to love seeing her check things out. I think most riders are locals who ride it every day so they don’t mind seeing people and dogs excited about the ferry. And it’s free to ride!
