Fort Sumter Ferry
A ramp system makes access a reality for all who visit Fort Sumter by ferry from the Fort Sumter Visitor Education Center in downtown Charleston. Even motorized wheelchairs are no longer a barrier.
The ferry departing from Patriots Point is not accessible.

Elevators inside Fort Sumter give disabled visitors access to all levels of the fort. See a ranger when you arrive on site if you need to use the elevators.
