Ferry, AK

Tucked into the Nenana River valley along the Parks Highway, Ferry is a quiet rural community located between Healy and Anderson. It first popped up in the early 1920s as a humble stop on the Alaska Railroad, serving local miners and trappers carving out a life in the Interior. Today, it appeals to folks looking for rugged scenery, plenty of elbow room, and peaceful living off the beaten path, with the added convenience of having Healy's schools, jobs, and grocery stores just a short drive down the road.
