The Canby Ferry - M.J. Lee II

Your good-natured commute since 1914

Canby Ferry is a car and walk-on ferry that transports people across the Willamette River between Canby and Wilsonville. Every day, the choice is yours: grind out the same old bumper-to-bumper commute, or sit back and relax as you float across the Willamette for a few minutes of peaceful nature.

  • From Wilsonville, the north side, you can get on the ferry from Southwest Mountain Road
  • From Canby, the south side, you'll get on the ferry by taking North Holly Street
  • The ride takes about five minutes to get across. 
  • The ferry does not have a set schedule; ferry conductors travel on an as-needed basis.  

Ferry Hours and Status

We're extending the hours between June 21 - September 12 to use the Canby Ferry as a way to reduce the traffic headaches on I-5 in the Canby area from the closure at Knights Bridge and lane closures to pave Arndt and Airport roads. Thank you for your patience as we work to complete these projects as quickly as possible! 

Enjoy extended weekday hours from June 21 - Sept. 12:

  • 6:30 a.m. - 8:30 p.m. Monday - Friday

open

The ferry is open daily from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., except on holidays*, when the river level is at 70 feet or higher or to accomodate special events.

*Holidays include New Year's Day, Martin Luther King Day, Presidents Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.
