8205 Little Rock Road
(North Main Street)
Sainte Genevieve, Missouri

Sainte Genevieve is in the heart of the French Colonial Country of the Middle Mississippi River Valley. Situated about an hour’s drive south of Saint Louis, Sainte Genevieve offers its visitors a glimpse into the past with the largest concentration of French Colonial architecture in the North America, many of which are open to the public.

To get to the ferry follow North Main Street about 1 1/2 miles from the Welcome Center in the Historic District of Ste. Genevieve to the Little Rock Landing on the Mississippi River. The Modoc Landing is accessible from IL-3 and IL-155 in Randolph County on the Illinois side. The ferry runs during daylight hours approximately every fifteen minutes and a fee is charged. Unsuitable water levels or freezing may cause ferry crossing interruptions. A good way to check the ferry’s status without going to the landing is to visit its website. The ferry accepts cash or check, and currently does not accept credit cards.

Travelers in the winter have a reasonable chance of spotting an American Bald Eagle while using the ferry or at either of the two landings.
