Mini Day Trip discovery - ferry boat still runs daily 2019-07-25 - Monroe County, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. While waiting for our 'Red Barn Barbecue', we noticed a picture of a ferry boat on the wall and asked about it. It's still running in a part of Monroe County that can be reached, from Tompkinsville, only by crossing the Cumberland River on that ferry. It takes you to the scenic Turkey Neck Bend area. At one time, the ferry was considered one of the best steamboat landings along the upper Cumberland River. It is free and is the only state-operated ferry in Kentucky.
