Leavenworth’s FREE River Shuttle is Back!
Float smart. Park once. Ride free.
Make your summer river day stress-free! The City of Leavenworth is offering a FREE River Shuttle this summer, operated in partnership with the Wenatchee Valley Shuttle.
Shuttle Schedule
- Days: Weekends Only (Sat & Sun), and Select Holiday (Labor Day)
- Dates: July 4 – September 7, 2026
- Hours: 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM
