Overton Corners / Lacolle – New York Highway 276 / Quebec Highway 221, Route 221
This is a small 2-lane border crossing mostly used by locals. Some travelers recommend using it when you see that the Champlain crossing at Interstate 87 / Autoroute 15 is congested. We have not seen recommendations to use it at all times, however, since it takes an additional 10-15 minutes to leave and return to the high-speed freeways.
Before heading to the border, be sure to review our pages on preparing for customs and prohibited items.
