Seasonal ferry shutdowns are now underway across Saskatchewan, with the Clarkboro Ferry among the latest to close.
According to the Ministry of Highways, the Clarkboro Ferry officially closed for the season on Sunday, October 19, 2025. The early shutdown of the ferry, located on Township Road 390 between Warman and Aberdeen, is required to accommodate reconstruction work on the west landing along Grid 784.
The Clarkboro Ferry is Saskatchewan’s busiest, carrying more than 70,000 vehicles annually across the South Saskatchewan River. Normally, it operates from 5am to midnight until colder weather sets in and ice begins to form; however, this year’s early closure was scheduled to allow maintenance on the concrete aprons at the ferry landings.
The Clarkboro Ferry is one of 13 ferries operated by the province. The Paynton and Lancer ferries have also closed for the season.
