The 35 minute ferry crossing between Kootenay Bay (east) and Balfour (west) normally is the longest scenic free ferry crossing in the world. Operated by the Ministry of Highways, the Osprey 2000 runs year round and the smaller Balfour ( boat not place) in summer months. Foot passengers can walk on at any sailing to enjoy the lake cruise. Bus Schedule from Nelson.
