Lake Express High-Speed Ferry is an American company that operates a seasonal ferry service across Lake Michigan between Milwaukee, Wisconsin and Muskegon, Michigan, operating a similarly-named ship, the HSC Lake Express. The Lake Express Milwaukee terminal and the company headquarters are located near the Port of Milwaukee. Their ferry travels a distance of about 80 miles (70 nmi; 130 km), in two-and-a-half hours, across Lake Michigan.[1]
