Canby Ferry
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Canby Ferry (aka the M.J. Lee) is a ferry in the U.S. state of Oregon that connects Canby, and Wilsonville/Stafford in Clackamas County across the Willamette River. It has been in service since 1914. It has been replaced and updated several times, the most recently in 2001.
The ferry has room for nine cars and the fare can range from free for pedestrians and bicyclists to $5 if a vehicle takes up the whole ferry. A regular passenger car costs $1.25. The ferry, the M.J. Lee II, is a cable ferry powered by electricity provided by overhead lines and is guided across the river by underwater cables, so the vessel is relatively unaffected by the river's currents.
