The ferry will sometimes wait here if there are no passengers. There is a semaphore on the Wisconsin side to signal the ferry.

Docking on the Iowa side

Upon launch, the tug will reverse itself and the dock remains in the same position. Cars will drive on forward and drive off forward, only the tug reverses.
