The Kootenay Lake ferry is a ferry across Kootenay Lake in southeastern British Columbia, which operates between Balfour, on the west side of the lake, and Kootenay Bay, on the east side. The MV Osprey 2000 and the MV Balfour are the two vessels used.[1]

The route is the world's longest free scenic ferry which carries vehicles.[2] The elimination of fares on the Tancook Island ferry in June 2021, made it the longest free passenger ferry route.[3]
