We had a blast! We took the ferry and got ice cream. Delicious! A nice treat with an even better view.

Obviously the ice cream is the main attraction, and for good reason! So many cool and tasty flavors. BUT THE PIZZA is wayyy to good for it be served here! NY style crust, light and crispy! We had the Chicken Bacon Ranch and it was one of the better pizzas I have had in a while! I saw the ovens and knew it was going be good, but it was great! 15ish min wait for the pizza, enough time to watch the ferry go down and back a few times!They also have a great area out back of the shop with chairs and yard games and really cool surfboard tables overlooking the river! Had a great time hanging out back and playing cornhole! Will be back for pizza and maybe ice cream too!

The staff was so charismatic and did the utmost to engage with customers and give great customer service. The ice cream was delicious which is to be expected. The place also had a cool rest area behind the shop with bean bag toss and picnic tables to watch the lake and the ferry.

Awesome icecream stand, the staff was very friendly. They are related to the Atwood scoop in Madison, WI, which also has same awesome flavors and friendliness. Don't forget to bring your punch card!

Love this place! The employees are very nice and welcoming to everyone. Also, they have some amazing ice cream flavors. If you’re stopping for a ride on the ferry, this place is a must have! Something cool I found out about this place is that they have a flavor of the week, kind of like Culver’s flavor of the day.

I saw someone else describe the staff as charismatic and the word choice is spot on! The young lady that served us was patient with our two year old’s order and made small talk all the while, asking about our day and weekend and offering up suggestions for places to visit and things to do in the vicinity. The ice cream was pretty good without breaking the bank.

This place still serves delicious ice cream right on the Lodi side of the ferry but no longer serves pizza.

It was a slight bit pricey at $6 for a waffle cone, but the ice cream was a decent consistency and temperature, so if you are going on a hike from Gibraltar Rock State Natural Area along the Ice Age National Trail, this is the perfect stop for a midpoint break with its great location next to the Wisconsin River.

What a treat! Wide variety of ice cream in cones or cups. Very friendly and helpful young man made suggestions, gave samples, and filled our order with a smile. A great place to visit while waiting for the Merrimack ferry.

Got some great ice cream here while I waited on the ferry. They have some games along the shore with a boat dock so if u had a boat you could stop here too.

Wonderful little spot for Great tasting ice cream treats. You can pull up to the pier by boat or we came by car this time. Sit and watch the ferry on the rivers edge while munching on our cones. Nice sunset place also.

This place has the best ice cream and many flavors. The ferry is safe and life jackets are provided as well which I thought was a really nice inclusion. It is also very peaceful and calm.

Super friendly staff, quick service and reasonably priced. Favorite spot to take the kids for a ice cream snack. They have new flavors this year and we really love them. A must stop if you're in the area

The Cedar Crest ice cream cones were great, service very quick and made the wait for our ferry ride insignificant. Very polite and friendly servers too.

After taking the free ferry across the river, enjoy a ice cream. 5 dollars for a waffle cone. The attendant made a great recommendation for dinner in near by town at Lucy"s.

Great selection, great service and cool location on Lake Wisconsin at the historic Merrimac Ferry stop. Blue Moon is a must try, as it is not available many places outside of Wisconsin and it is quite delicious.

One of the best lakeside ice cream stands in the state. Nothing better than a scoop of ice cream while taking a blissful ride on a locally historic ferry.

Friendly folks, delicious ice cream. Lots of flavors to choose from to pick up a sweet little treat before getting on the ferry or going for a little hike in the Gibraltar Rock area.

I expected the pizza to be along the lines of "Jacks" or "Emils" or some other frozen pizza but it far exceeded my expectations! The crust was perfect, toppings were abundant, sauce was spot on, it was worth every penny!

It's a good thing I don't live nearby because I stop here every single time I use the ferry.Just a small roadside stand with a wide variety of ice creams and other treats. With a friendly proprietor.
