North America's Inland Auto-Ferries
Originally created in 1998, I believe this is still (as of July '08) the only website that attempts to list every ferry in North America
A nearly-complete list
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 acess from the other direction).
....All ferries listed carry vehicles.
....LINKS may take you to official or unofficial websites, or articles about the ferry.

CANADA (I) LINK to provincial links 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.
