Two car and passenger ferries carry riders to Wisconsin islands, the Washington Island ferry from Door County and the Madeline Island ferry from Bayfield. Two seasonal car ferries cross Lake Michigan from Wisconsin to Michigan, Lake Express from Milwaukee and the SS Badger from Manitowoc. Both Lake Michigan ports keep Central time, and the Michigan ports keep Eastern time.
