Moro Bay ferry
The Moro Bay ferry is a historic ferry site at in southwestern Bradley County, Arkansas. A ferry operated across the Ouachita River at this site from 1828 until 1948, and then again from 1965 to 1992, providing a major crossing point of the river in the immediate region. The towboat and barge used by the 1965-1992 ferry service are now set up as a display in the state park, with historically appropriate signage to its ferry slip. Because the area is prone to flooding, the boats are installed in a way that they will float when flooded. The boats were built in 1948 by the Barbour Metal Boat Works of Missouri, and were probably the last ferry boats built for public service in the state.
