Follow the signs to the Kelleys Island Ferry terminal. Note that parking is available near the ferry terminal, but there may be parking fees depending on the duration of your stay.

From there, you can catch a local bus or taxi service to take you to the Kelleys Island Ferry terminal at 510 W Main St, Lakeside Marblehead, OH 43440. Make sure to check the bus schedule in advance as services may be limited, especially during off-peak seasons.
