In the 1800's, Long Eddy had two ferries crossing the Delaware River, one located at the end of Ferry Street and the other at the end of the Long Eddy. The ferries were guided across the river by a cable and were powered by the flow of the river. To go in one direction, the scow was angled causing the current to push it across the river. To return, the angle was reversed. Wagons would access the ferry landing in Pennsylvania via River Road, visible from here midway on the hillside across the river.

The ferry cable and mooring ring can be found today on the Pennsylvania side of the river.
