Parrott's Ferry is a historical cable ferry site in Columbia, California in Tuolumne County, California. Parrott's Ferry was built by Thomas H. Parrott in 1860. The ferry crossed the Stanislaus River, connected the mining towns of Tuttletown and Vallecito. A bridge across the river was built in 1903, ending the need for the ferry.
