About the Buena Vista – Jefferson crossing

One minute across roughly 200 metres of the Willamette, from the Buena Vista landing on the west bank to the east side. 127 crossings a day, seven days a week, on a cable ferry that is pulled across rather than steered.

Hours and season

First boat 07.00, last 17.30. The published schedule covers 22 April to 1 September 2026 — this is the summer timetable, and the crossing is also subject to river levels, which can suspend it regardless of the calendar.

What "Jefferson" means here

The east landing is listed as Jefferson, which is a road and a direction rather than a town on the riverbank. The two landings are within sight of each other; the name simply marks which side of the water you are heading for.

Fares

Vehicles pay a toll in cash, by cheque or with the county ferry toll card — no card payments on board. Foot passengers and cyclists cross free. The service is run by Marion County Public Works.
