PADUCAH, Ky. (Oct 7, 2020) —Due to low water on the Mississippi River, the Dorena-Hickman Ferry has halted service. The ferry will remain closed until further notice.
Captain Jeremy Newsom says the Cairo Gauge was at 13.1 ft This morning. He anticipates the ferry will be out of service until the river is around 14 ft or higher at Cairo. The low water is keeping the ferry ramp from reaching the Kentucky Landing ramp.
The ferry will provide timely notice when service is able to resume.
