About the Matheny RoadWheatland Road crossing

66 crossings a day from the Marion County bank to Yamhill County, first at 05.30 and last at 21.45. Two minutes over about 580 feet of the Willamette, pulled across by steel cable.

The longest operating day on the river

Sixteen and a quarter hours, seven days a week, on a timetable published through to 31 October 2026. That is well beyond the Buena Vista Ferry upstream, which runs 07.00–17.30 and closes on 1 September. For early or late crossings, or anything in October, this is the ferry still sailing.

Why people use it

The nearest bridges are roughly 15 miles away at Salem or Newberg, so for local traffic between the two banks the two-minute crossing replaces a substantial road detour. The Daniel Matheny V takes nine vehicles at a time.

Paying

Tolls are bought on arrival at the landing, in US dollars. Pedestrians cross free. The service is run jointly by Marion and Yamhill counties.

Vehicles, pets & onboard

  • Electric cable ferry
  • Vehicle deck
  • Free for pedestrians
  • Rural river shortcut

Vehicle space is available on this route — book early, especially in peak season. Onboard facilities and vehicle, pet and luggage policies vary by operator and vessel; confirm details with the operator before booking.
