The story of transportation in Tulare County is filled with excitement and fraught with danger. Traveling on foot was of course a big part of the history, but beyond that, vehicles of all shapes and sizes came on the scene. Before Tulare became a county, native people used tule boats to get to favorite fishing and hunting areas, especially at Tulare Lake. Lacking bridges, settlers built ferries that hauled people, animals and goods across swollen streams and rivers, like the Kings River.
