Ferries are for crossing rivers and small bodies of water. Lake Michigan is like 120 miles across. Even if you could ferry it it would take you like 8 hours.

Jeez girl, look at a map.

You don't say 120 miles really? Wow thanks for the info.

Ferries leave from Michigan and Wisconsin why not Chicago?

By the way many Ferry's do in fact take several hours.

A ferry from Chicago doesn't make a lot of sense because it's right near the bottom edge of the lake and it's just as easy to simply drive around. Notice the one ferry across the lake is strategically situated to cross at approximately the midpoint. (OK, a little south of the midpoint.) Anyone who lives south of Green Bay or north of Waukegan can drive to Milwaukee and hop the ferry. For everyone else, it's just as easy to drive around the lake.
