Hite Ferry Location

In the late 1890s, Arthur Chaffin came to Hite with his father and brothers looking for gold. After little luck they gave up. As other mineral booms occurred in the region, Chaffin took advantage of the largest - the uranium boom. Since Hite was situated at an important Colorado River crossing, he established a ferry. His ferry operated from the 1946 to 1964, when Lake Powell was filled.
