Lake Express ferry - move from winter berth to Lake Michigan - 4.9.09

The Lake Express ferry makes the annual voyage from it's winter home in Milwaukee's Menomonee Valley, not far from Miller Park, to the Lake Michigan lakefront.

The Lake Express will now undergo final preparations for the May 1st opening of the 2009 season of daily Lake Michigan crossings between Milwaukee and Muskegon, Michigan.

The Lake Express is designed and operated to be fully accessible - we have an elevator on board so there is no need to worry about stairs. Additionally, our staff is trained to and happy to assist with any special needs.

This reminds me of child berth.

The S.S. Badger is a MUCH cooler way to cross Lake Michigan !!!!!

That thing looks like an overgrown pontoon boat, and looks kind of small, so I imagine it rocks around a lot out in the middle of the big lake......

In reverse. that is too cool. Speaks volumes about the skill of the crew. I'd love to go across and back, but I need and use a walker and can't navigate stairs. Handicapped accessable perhaps?
