About the Wheatland RoadMatheny Road crossing

The Yamhill-to-Marion direction: 65 sailings a day between 05.35 and 21.35, two minutes across roughly 580 feet of the Willamette.

Five minutes behind the other bank

Departures here sit about five minutes after the Matheny Road ones — 05.35 against 05.30, 21.35 against 21.45 — the signature of one boat working back and forth rather than two vessels on a fixed timetable. In practice you wait for the ferry to return rather than for a scheduled slot.

Open when the others are not

The schedule holds to 31 October 2026 and starts before half past five in the morning. Of the surviving Willamette crossings, this is the one with the longest day — Buena Vista, 35 km upstream, does not start until 07.00 and stops for the season on 1 September.

Practical notes

Cable-guided, electric with a diesel generator, nine vehicles per crossing. Tolls in US dollars paid at the landing; pedestrians free. Willamette Mission State Park sits on the Marion County side, between Salem and Newberg.

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.
