There is a pair of islands near Rockport called the Zavikon Island. A popular but incorrect tale among the local tourist guides is that the bigger island is in Canada, while the smaller one is in the USA, and the foot bridge between them is the shortest international bridge in the world.
The Zavikon Island is located in the Canadian territory and belongs to the Leeds and Grenville municipal unit.
The Google Maps picture below seems to confirm that both islands are part of Canadian waters.
What is more, the US Coast Guard topographical map below also confirms the fact that both islands are part of Canada.
So much for controversies!!! Regardless, the two islands are very pretty and the tale interesting.
