MUSKEGON (AP) -- A high-speed Lake Michigan ferry that runs during warm-weather months between Milwaukee and Muskegon, Mich., has ended its 2009 business season.
The Lake Express ferry was moved Tuesday up the Milwaukee River, from its home port in Milwaukee to its winter berth inland.
The ferry will be returned to Milwaukee in May, at the start of next year's season.
The aluminum-hulled catamaran has room for 250 passengers and 46 vehicles. Its top speed of 40 mph allows it to cross the lake in two and a half hours.
The ferry began service in June 2004.
