Muskegon Transportation: The Lake Express Ferry

Congested highways, narrow toll roads, and bridges under construction are no way to travel; especially if you are trying to get from Michigan to Wisconsin. Unfortunately for most people that is precisely what they must endure; as well as all of the stress that comes with simply being behind the wheel for hours at a time. Every day, thousands of people are being engulfed by the hustle and bustle of commerce and find themselves thrown headlong into the choking arteries of the American highway system.

There is another option.

The Lake Express ferry is one of two operational ferries that operate over Lake Michigan. Connecting terminals from Muskegon to Milwaukee, the three hour round trip can cut almost a full day of travel time from your busy and sometimes bloated schedule.

If Chicago is you destination, you will have to suffer the roads, but if getting through Chicago to get to the other side of Lake Michigan is your goal, then Lake Express in Muskegon is your answer to stress-free comfort. That comfort does come at a cost, however. The Lake Express is not for everyone. Each round trip ticket per person is over $100. Add a car ticket and you have added almost another $150 to the trip. You can also add a trailer for and additional cost as well. And for a few dollars more, there is also a premier class area that includes movies, lap top connections, and steward service.
