Bleriot Ferry, Cable ferry across Red Deer River in Drumheller Valley, Canada.

Bleriot Ferry is a cable ferry carrying vehicles and pedestrians across the Red Deer River, linking the two sections of the North Dinosaur Trail (Highway 838) between Kneehill County on the west bank and Starland County on the east. It runs from late April to November.

Andre Bleriot established this ferry service in 1913, originally called Munson Ferry, to link Kneehill County with Starland County. The crossing has served as a vital link for communities in this remote region for over a century.

The ferry's name comes from Andre Bleriot, brother of aviator Louis Blériot, who was its first operator when it was commissioned in 1913. Locals still call it the Munson Ferry, its original name. In its early decades the crossing served as a social hub for the Drumheller area, not just a transport link.

The ferry operates from late April through November during daylight hours and is free for all users. Check local conditions before your crossing, as water levels and weather can affect operations.

The ferry was first run by Andre Bleriot, brother of aviator Louis Blériot, in 1913. It was originally called Munson Ferry, and the crossing doubled as a social hub for the Drumheller area, where people from both banks met while waiting for the boat.
