With the Lake Express high speed ferry, you can have it both ways - fast and fun.  You can have a great experience onboard and you can save hours of travel time when compared to the typical trip.

2-1/2 hours vs. 4-1/2 hours or more.

Save Time and Mileage The  Lake Express crosses Lake Michigan in just 2-1/2 hours - a fraction of the time it would take to drive.  When you chose Lake Express, you leave nearly 300 miles of driving behind. Easy Highway Access The Milwaukee and Muskegon Lake Express terminals are just minutes from major interstate highways and easy access to 43, 94, 90 and 96.

Fast Forward Around Chicago Avoid the dangers, uncertainties and hassles of Chicago tollways, highways and traffic. Daily Crossings to Fit Your Schedule Because the Lake Express is so fast, it can offer convenient schedules to fit the needs of today's travelers.  The Spring and Fall schedules are designed to offer the maximum number of primetime morning and early evening sailings while the summer schedule adds a third roundtrip to accomodate virtually any travel schedule at all.

Say goodbye to Chicago traffic
