Gees Bend Ferry


The ferry provides an excellent way to see the natural beauty along the river–and see lots of wading birds, too!
Ferry service was restored between the county seat of Camden and the historic Gees Bend community in 2006. Take a two mile ferry ride to Gees Bend and enjoy the rich history of the area where the world famous Gees Bend Quilters reside.
