High-speed
Lake Express launched this month
THE LAKE EXPRESS, the first high-speed ferry service across Lake Michigan from Milwaukee to Muskegon, made the first of its daily runs in June from a new terminal at the Port of Milwaukee and continues to make three trips a day each way.
The new $18-million vessel carries 250 passengers and 46 cars across the lake in 2 1/2 hours. The ferry’s schedule for June, July, August and September calls for departures from Milwaukee at 6:30 a.m., 12:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. every day and return trips from Muskegon at 10:30 a.m., 4:30 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. A more limited schedule is planned for October-December.
The Lake Express, which travels at 40 miles an hour, is the first ship of its kind to operate between two American ports. Similar ships operate in the Far East, the Mediterranean, the Baltic and in the English Channel. For additional information or tickets, call 866-914-1010 or visit www.lake-express.com.
