Canada Border Services Agency: St. Lawrence River

Akwesasne Mohawk Territory Dept: Cornwall Island is a reserve in the Akwesasne Mohawk Territory that lies in the middle of the St. Lawrence River, according to CBC. Since 2009, residents on the island have been secluded after the Canada Border Services Agency pulled its port of entry due to a dispute over the arming of border guards and residents of Cornwall Island welcome the return of Canadian border guards in order to boost the economy, according to its Mohawk chief. It is officially part of Ontario but also straddles New York and Quebec. Residents of the Akwesasne reserve can even travel between Hogansburg, N.Y., and St. Regis, Que., as you can watch in the video link above. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
