About Ferryville

Ferryville is a quiet river community set along the Mississippi in southwestern Wisconsin's Driftless region. Home to roughly 200 residents, the village sits right on Highway 35 along the Great River Road, flanked by 600-foot limestone bluffs on one side and the river on the other. It is an exceptionally scenic stretch of highway, known for broad water views, migrating eagles, and an easygoing pace of life.

Outdoor recreation is built right into the daily routine here. Sugar Creek Park provides green space and camping, while local boat launches make it simple to get out on the water for fishing, kayaking, or pontoon cruising. Neighbors regularly get together for community suppers and seasonal events, and local kids attend the De Soto Area School District just up the road. For anyone looking for wide-open river views and a friendly, small-town atmosphere, Ferryville is a great place to settle in.
