It’s always a gamble as to whether it’s open or not. Check Twitter as this seems to get updated regularly.

The Windemere Ferry carries people between the eastern and western shores of the lake. The crossing takes around 10 minutes and boats leave generally around every 20 minutes. You can take your bicycle over with you for a small additional fee. Have a look at their website for up-to-date departure info and costs: westmorlandandfurness.gov.uk/parking-streets-and-transport/windermere-ferry
