Ironton Ferry is a four-car cable ferry that crosses a narrow point on the South Arm of Lake Charlevoix in the U.S. State of Michigan at a place called Ironton. Ironton was a Pig Iron Factory town. The ferry runs between April and November. A prior captain of the ferry is listed in Ripley's Believe it or Not! for travelling 15,000 miles while never being more than 1/4 mile from his home over a period of years. The cost in recent times has risen to $3.00 each way.
