This is the world's smallest international bridge, between Canadia (larger island), and America (the smaller island) - in the 1000 islands! Such a wonderful world we live in!
Here's what a truth-obsessed friend of mine sent me on PM: It's not an "international bridge", in reality. That's just a cute little story the tour guides have made up, to tell the tourists, and get them to sign up for tours. We visited this footbridge when we visited Niagara Falls, Canada, and got to know the real fact there. Both islands are in Canadian waters, the island-pair is called Zavikon Islands, in the St. Lawrence River between New York and Ontario, about 200 meters north of the international boundary. In fact, the US Dept of Defense map lists Zavikon Island as located on Canadian territory.

I still think it's terribly cute, and still qualifies, for me, as the world's smallest bridge near an internaitonal boundary :)
"It still qualifies, for me, as the world's smallest bridge near an international boundary".
I agree :-)
Though, it doesn't seem like it's an international bridge with one country on either side :-0
