Zavikon Island

Zavikon Island comprises two separate land masses in the St. Lawrence River connected by a short bridge, with a residence on the larger section and a garden on the smaller one. Each section sits just beyond the other, creating a two-part property in the middle of the waterway.

The Canadian government confirmed that both sections belong entirely within Canadian territory, contrary to international bridge claims dating back to the 1880s. This official determination settled decades of confusion about the exact border location in this part of the river.

Three flags hang on the bridge connecting the two land sections: Canadian and American at opposite ends, with the Hungarian flag in the middle honoring the owner's background.

The island is private property and not open to public visits, though it can be viewed from the water. The best way to see it is from a boat tour in the Thousand Islands region, which offers closer views of the bridge and flags from the river.

The smaller southeastern section holds a boundary reference monument placed by the US-Canada Boundary Commission to mark the exact international border location in the river. This surveying marker is rarely noticed by casual observers passing by.
