The [[Millersburg Ferry]], the last surviving [[ferry]] which crosses the Susquehanna River, and the last wooden-stern paddle-wheel ferry operating within the United States, operates out of Millersburg, which sits on the east side of the river. According to a sign posted at the ferry dock, a ferry has operated here since 1825. The original ferries were poled across the river. [[Paddle steamer|Paddle-wheel boats]] went into operation in 1873. The current ferries are wooden-stern paddle-wheelers which can carry up to four automobiles. The one-mile crossing goes to a point on the west side of the Susquehanna, in a campground near the point where [[Pennsylvania Route 34]] meets [[U.S. Route 11 in Pennsylvania|U.S. Route 11]] and [[U.S. Route 15 in Pennsylvania|U.S. Route 15]], and near [[Liverpool, Pennsylvania|Liverpool]]. The ferry boats were officially listed on the [[National Register of Historic Places]] in 2006.

The river at this location is very wide (approximately 1 mile) but is typically very shallow, sometimes only {{convert|2|ft}} deep. The ferry follows a course across the river near a submerged man-made wall composed of river rocks and debris which provides slightly deeper clearance and prevents the ferry from grounding out.
