The Los Ebanos Ferry is the only existing hand-operated ferry on the
U.S.-Mexican border. The privately owned and operated ferry carries three cars
at a time. In 1975, the ferry was recognized with a state historical marker. The ferry crosses the Rio Grande River from an area of ebony trees (los ebanos)
located approximately 14 miles west of McAllen on U.S. 83 and 3 miles south on
FM 886. The ferry operates from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily. |
