The Bleriot Ferry is a cable ferry in Alberta, Canada. It links the two sections of the North Dinosaur Trail (Highway 838) as it crosses the Red Deer River from Kneehill County on the west, to Starland County on the east. It was built by Andre Bleriot commissioned in 1913 and, in addition to providing an essential transport service, acted as a major social hub in the Drumheller area.[2]
The ferry operates from late April to November.[3]
