The ferry is free of tolls and operates 24 hours a day, with an hourly crossing departing from the east bank on the hour and the west bank on the half-hour. The ferry operates during the ice-free season; during the winter months the Ministry of Highways maintains an ice road across the lake.<\/p>\n<p>There are periods during freeze up and thaw when the ice road will be impassable and the ferry will not be operating. The ice road itself will only be open if the thickness of the ice is within safety margins.<\/p>\n<p class=\"small-text\">Visitors are advised to call the Highway Hotline <a href=\"tel:18883357623\">(1-888-335-7623)<\/a> for up to the minute information before planning to cross the ice.<\/p><\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-96b64fa about-blk-pod-sec elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"96b64fa\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-7310743\" data-id=\"7310743\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-6359dc9 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"6359dc9\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-00f22a5\" data-id=\"00f22a5\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9da8f9d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9da8f9d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4>Gardiner Dam<\/h4>\nThe other method to cross the lake can be found by simply driving across Highway 44.
