Hyder–Stewart Border Crossing, Hyder
Facts and practical information
The Hyder–Stewart Border Crossing connects the communities of Hyder, Alaska and Stewart, British Columbia on the Canada–United States border. It can be reached by British Columbia Highway 37A from Stewart and International Street from Hyder. There is no US border inspection station at this crossing, making it one of the only land border crossings where a person may legally enter the United States without reporting for inspection. The US closed its border station, which was located in the same building as the Boundary Gift Shop, in the late 1970s. As a result, all flights leaving the Hyder Seaplane Base to other cities in Alaska are treated as international arrivals, and all passengers, including Hyder residents, must be inspected by U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers. Hyder is the easternmost community in Alaska. ()
