North America's Inland Auto-Ferries
Originally created in 1998, I believe this is still (as of December 2011) the only website that attempts to list every ferry in North America
The list below does not include "dead end" ferries, i.e., those from which it not possible to continue onward. (For example, those going to islands, or across rivers or lakes to points without road access from the other direction).
All ferries listed carry vehicles.

Many all-season ferries operate until icebound. There is often an Ice Bridge, used by locals, when icebound. Cross on ice at your own RISK, which is significant. This is widely practiced, but discouraged. In some places, it is officially sanctioned. Make local inquiry.
