The Dorena-Hickman Ferry is back in service.
According to the Kentucky Tranportation Cabinet, the ferry resumed operation at 2:30 pm. It had been closed due to high water covering the landing on the Kentucky side of the Mississippi River.

The Dorena-Hickman Ferry Operates from the Hickman Landing with regular river crossings during daylight hours. Passage for passenger vehicles is $16 with additional tolls for trucks, motor homes, and vehicles pulling trailers. There are discounts for vehicles making return crossings.
