Question: What Texas town is home to the only ferry across the Rio Grande?
Answer: Los Ebanos. Since it opened in 1950, the hand-operated cable ferry has evolved from a simple wooden platform to a steel barge that can transport three vehicles across the river to the community of Gustavo Díaz Ordaz, Tamaulipas. It is anchored to a Texas Ebony tree on the U.S. side, and travelers entering the country must stop at a Border Patrol station after getting off the ferry.
