Border Crossing - Northern Forest Canoe Trail

The Northern Forest Canoe Trail crosses the international border with Canada in two places: on the Missisquoi River (NFCT Map 5) and on Lake Memphremagog (NFCT Map 6). Both NFCT maps provide explicit directions about how to find the border patrol stations in order to check in.  The Canadian Border Station on the East Richford/Glenn Sutton line, is open seven days a week from 8am to 4pm; please plan accordingly.

As of June 1, 2009, U.S. and Canadian travelers at land-based entry points are required to present a passport or other document that denotes identity and citizenship. 

For more information and a list of acceptable documents, see the websites of U.S. Customs and Border Patrol and the Canada Border Services Agency.
