This cutting down to the River is believed to date back to 1850, when passengers would wind themselves across the river. This was also the site for the first official ferry built in
Morgan in 1906. Also at the site is a maker showing the various flood heights. The
Morgan Ferry is still the only way still to cross the
Murray River, even in 2008. The
Morgan Historic Walk starts and finishes on the banks of the Murray adjacent to the
Morgan ferry crossing.
