No fare is charged and there are no reservations. MTO's service-commitment page described the Glenora and Wolfe Island ferries as a free, year-round, first-come, first-served service, and Prince Edward County's visitor site says drivers can board with no fees or reservations. The current ontario.ca ferry page does not mention fares at all.
The Glenora ferry carries the Loyalist Parkway over the water between Adolphustown in Greater Napanee and Glenora in Prince Edward County. The County's own visitor guide points out that every other road into The County crosses a bridge, which makes this the one crossing drivers queue for rather than drive over. Glenora lies near Lake on the Mountain, and the Loyalist Parkway leads straight to the ferry, so drivers follow it to the water's edge and join the line.
The Ontario Ministry of Transportation operates the service year round. Its base pattern, published on ontario.ca, is a steady shuttle: departures from Glenora on the hour and half hour, and from Adolphustown at a quarter past and a quarter to, between 6 am and 1:15 am. In the busy months a second vessel joins. For 2026 the ministry set that two-boat period from 3 July to 11 October, with sailings from each side every 15 minutes between 10:15 am and 7:45 pm. On 6 July 2026 Prince Edward County announced that the ferry was suspended for a mechanical repair and sent drivers the long way round by County Road 49, Highway 62 and Highway 33; the same day it reported the ferry back on its regular schedule.
Space is limited. MTO gives a maximum of 117 passengers and 21 vehicles, and a height limit of 4.1 metres. There are no tickets or reservations, and the County's visitor guide warns that lineups can get long, so a car that turns up at the last minute may have to wait for the following boat.
Anyone hauling fuel should read the rules first. The Glenora boats refuse explosives at all times and will not take containers larger than 454 litres of flammable product with a flashpoint below 37.8 degrees Celsius, although diesel and furnace oil are accepted. Vehicles carrying dangerous goods are parked at the far ends of the deck with at least a metre of clear space around them.
- Arrive at the terminal before the posted departure; vehicle lanes and ticket booths close earlier than the foot-passenger gate.
- Check the operator's current conditions or service notices on the day — wind, ice, vessel refits and dangerous-cargo sailings change the schedule.
- Find out how you can pay before you queue: some crossings are free, some sell tickets only at one end, and some take cards only.
