List of Canada–United States border crossings
This is a list of border crossings along the International Boundary between Canada and the United States. They are ordered from west to east (crossings with Alaska from north to south).
The Land ports of entry list is limited to places where CBSA and/or CBP now provide border inspection services. Unstaffed crossings are listed in the Unstaffed Road Crossings section. Crossings where border inspection services were once provided, but have since been barricaded are listed in the Closed Land Ports of Entry section. Separate sections are also provided for Rail Crossings and point-to-point Ferry Crossings.
Land ports of entry
Port of entry hours of service for road crossings, except where noted, are open year-round during the day.
The yellow background indicates a port of entry where travel is permitted in only one direction. |
The green background indicates a crossing that is located at a bridge or a tunnel. |

Canada Port of Entry | Canada Road/ Highway | United States Port of Entry | United States Road/ Highway | Notes | Structure or Notable Feature | Coordinates |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Boundary Bay | 67 Street | Point Roberts | Meadow Lane | Old border crossing used to be located on the east end of the peninsula. Crossing was permanently closed in 1975 when the Tyee Road border crossing was expanded.[3] The former Canadian border station remains and has been refurbished. | 49°0′7.20″N 123°2′16.80″W / 49.0020000°N 123.0380000°W | |
Chopaka West | Chopaka Road | Nighthawk West | Chopaka Road | Canada periodically provided border services at the crossing on Chopaka Road until the US barricaded the road in 1964. The US never had border inspection services at this crossing.[4] | 49°0′0.36″N 119°43′33.24″W / 49.0001000°N 119.7259000°W | |
Bridesville | Old Molson Road | Molson | Old Railroad Road | Molson died a slow death as its mining and farming businesses dried up in the 1920s.[5] Molson's designation as a port of entry was revoked in 1941,[6] and the Customs and Immigration station in the town closed. | 49°0′0.72″N 119°10′45.84″W / 49.0002000°N 119.1794000°W | |
Myncaster | Myncaster Road | Chesaw | Bolster Road | Canada port of entry was maintained to support both road and rail traffic, however, traffic on Bolster Road was light and the railroad ceased operations in 1937. The port of entry closed around 1955, but opened again for one day on June 9, 1990.[7] | 49°0′0.00″N 119°1′18.12″W / 49.0000000°N 119.0217000°W | |
Flathead | Flathead Rd | Trailcreek | North Fork Rd | Border crossing adjacent to the Flathead River closed in 1996 due to flooding of the road just north of the border.[8] The road is gated at the border. Both the US and Canadian border stations remain but are falling into disrepair. | 49°0′3.96″N 114°28′42.24″W / 49.0011000°N 114.4784000°W | |

West Lynne (Emerson) | 5th Street | Pembina | US 81 | This crossing on U.S. Route 81 was moderately trafficked through the 1950s, but it was closed in the mid-1960s when Interstate 29 and Manitoba Highway 29 were built immediately to the west. The Canadian and US border stations were demolished, but the concrete slabs on which they stood remain. | 49°0′1.44″N 97°14′6.36″W / 49.0004000°N 97.2351000°W | |
Emerson East | PTH 75 | Noyes | US 75 | Throughout the early 20th century, this was among the busiest U.S.-Canada border crossings. It was the point at which the Jefferson Highway intersected the international boundary and was adorned with an elaborate archway. Traffic waned with the 1957 opening of Interstate 29 two miles to the west. The crossing was closed by Canada in 2003 (where traffic was permitted southbound only) and then by the U.S. in 2006. All road traffic must now use the Emerson-Pembina, North Dakota crossing. | 49°0′0.00″N 97°12′26.28″W / 49.0000000°N 97.2073000°W | |

Franklin | Chemin Rennie | Chateaugay | Earlville Road | Canadian port of entry had been located at the corner of 1st Concession Road. This crossing was among the last unattended crossings to be barricaded, in the late 1980s. The US never had border services on this road, but the Churubusco Customs office used to be located in town rather than at the border, shortening the trip to report. | 44°59′42.00″N 74°2′49.92″W / 44.9950000°N 74.0472000°W | |
Franklin | Route 209 | Churubusco | NY 189 | Canadian port of entry permanently closed April 1, 2011. U.S. port of entry remains open and has since been renovated. | 44°59′56.41″N 73°56′20.57″W / 44.9990028°N 73.9390472°W | |

Highwater | Chemin Lafond | North Troy | Space Research Corporation Road | In the 1960s and 1970s, Space Research Corporation founder Gerald Bull built his company on property his family owned on both sides of the border. As the company began building military weapons, the US established a border inspection station outside the company's south gate to inspect southbound traffic. This station also enabled US workers to legally return home after work without having to go through the North Troy border crossing, and it was not for use by the general public. Canada did not have a border station on the company's north gate. The SRC facility (and the Customs station) closed in 1980 when Bull was convicted of violating an arms embargo against South Africa.[14] | 45°0′30.60″N 72°26′58.20″W / 45.0085000°N 72.4495000°W | |

The building is now purple and privately owned, but in the 1980s it was rented as a vacation home.[15] Prior to its construction in the 1960s, Canada Customs operated out of a line house across the street. This building was separated, moved about a half mile North and used as cottages.[16] | 45°0′22.68″N 72°22′28.92″W / 45.0063000°N 72.3747000°W | |

Leadville | Chemin de Leadville | Newport | Lake Road | Canadian Customs had a station from the mid-1930s to 1939, then reopened in 1948. It was replaced with a new border station in the mid-1950s, which permanently closed on March 31, 1969.[17] | 45°0′15.84″N 72°15′30.60″W / 45.0044000°N 72.2585000°W | |
Lineboro | Chemin de North Derby | North Derby | North Derby Road | Canada provided Customs service at this road and rail crossing 1932-1937 and 1949-1953. The U.S. never had Customs services here.

Four Falls | Brown Road | East Road | Russell Road | Canada still provides Customs services seasonally, but US-bound traffic is prohibited, and has been since the US border station closed in the 1960s. However until 2008, US-bound traffic was permitted to use the road to the Aroostook Valley Country Club, which is in both countries. Several Canadian properties access the road which pre-dates the establishment of the border; several residents have experienced harassment from U.S. Border Patrol officers since 9/11.[19][20] | 46°49′24.21″N 67°47′22.65″W / 46.8233917°N 67.7896250°W | |

Beaconsfield | Nicholson Road | Easton | Curtis Road | Canada stopped providing Customs services in the 1960s and erected a sign directing travelers to the nearest open crossing.

The crossing was barricaded in the 1980s. | 46°39′9.36″N 67°47′18.96″W / 46.6526000°N 67.7886000°W | |
Listerville | Mars Hill Road | Mars Hill | East Ridge Road | Border inspection services were built around 1950, and closed around 1976.
