Coryell's Ferry Boat Rides

Head over to my friend, Arthur Greisiger's site to hear the fascinating tale of The Major William C. Barnett.

"Boat Rides. Gen. George Washington advised: "Be sure to take the ferry by Coryell's as it is the swiftest, surest route." We can't say today's Coryell's Ferry rides are the swiftest, but they are among the surest ways for the public to see the New Hope section of the river. Capt. Robert Gerenser, whose last name is attached to much activity and enterprise in New Hope, gives scenic half-hour excursions with an informative narrative on a 65-foot Mississippi-style stern paddlewheel pontoon boat from 22 South Main St., New Hope, 862-2050. Rides leave roughly every 45 minutes from 10 to 5:30, May-September."
