Rude the ferry on the Connecticut River at this location!! Back story. Jonathan Warner of Chester, who owned land on both sides of the river, started a ferry service at this location in 1769. Wonderful quaint place to spend all day at!!!

The shoreline is incredible at this place!!! Connecticut River!! Nice place to easy hike.. swim..sunbathe and picnic! Wonderful find!
I took a picture of view on the bigger river down there at Lyme, Gillette Castle.
Sometime a #roadtrip requires a boat ride... Take this car ferry for three dollars to visit Gillette Castle.

The staff was really helpful during our stay. The rooms were adequate and clean, but nothing special. The food from the restaurant was very good. The kids enjoyed the pool and the pool area was good with lots of seating.
