Bleriot Ferry — Local services in Alberta

The ferry: an interesting piece of history, I recommend anyone in the area do the Dino loop where this is the half way point. Take 5 min to get across and it's free!

Standard outhouses, with were clean and maintained. Super quite at night as the ferry isn't running and no one is driving by. Makes for a great spot for your...
