The Modoc ferry is a Mississippi crossing to verify first

MoDOT lists the Ste. Genevieve to Modoc ferry as a Mississippi River ferry route, so drivers should verify service before routing around the river.

Ste. Genevieve County’s river geography can change a simple drive. MoDOT’s ferry-locations page lists a St. Genevieve ferry on the Mississippi River, running from the Little Rock Landing Site at Ste. Genevieve, Missouri, to Modoc, Illinois, with the ferry operator listed as the contact.

That makes the ferry a useful routing option, but not one to assume blindly. River conditions, operating decisions, and hours can change, so verify with the ferry source before using it as the key link in a commute, delivery route, bike ride, or day trip.

For a map search, the ferry looks like a crossing. For a real trip, treat it as a service to check before you leave.
