Eastport–Kingsgate Border Crossing, Idaho Panhandle National Forests
Facts and practical information
The Eastport–Kingsgate Border Crossing connects the town of Bonners Ferry, Idaho with Yahk, British Columbia on the Canada–US border. It can be reached by U.S. Route 95 on the American side and British Columbia Highway 95 on the Canadian side. The Spokane International Railroad first crossed the border at this location in 1906, connecting Spokane with the Canadian Pacific Railway. Canada built its first border station at Kingsgate later that year; the US station is one of two in Idaho, and many trucks travel between British Columbia and the US Interstate system at Interstate 90 a hundred miles to the south. This crossing is open 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. ()
