With a name like White Ferry, you are going to offend a lot of people.

It was named after its owner, Elijah White...

It appears to me that the present ferry owners must not have had the best representation, in court or out, because the state had built a road to the ferry crossing on or before 1795.

There all all sorts of laws regarding permitted use (even by neighbors and other civilians) plus government use plus the powers of eminent domain.

But I guess the paid lease they had for several years negated some of the allowable defenses.

Change the name to ‘Black Fairy Road’ and make the crossing a Autonomous Zone Problem solved!
