Border Crossing At The Peace Arch State Park Between Canada And The USA In HD
The Peace Arch Park and border crossing is a popular entry point into the United States/Canada located on the border between northwest Washington State and British Columbia in Blaine Washington. The Peace Arch Crossing allows people to wander the park on both sides of the border without going through customs and get a feel for the differences in both countries.
It is also an interesting place to see a portion of one of the largest unprotected borders in the world. But unprotected doesn't mean it isn't monitored and patrolled. It is just not militarized. There are plenty of cameras, sensors and border agents on patrol to stop any illegal activity.

Peace Arch Historical State Park
A dramatic white arch rises from the green lawns and flowering gardens on the U.S.-Canada border at Blaine. Some may not realize that the international Peace Arch they pass on Interstate 5 is the principle feature in an iconic Washington state historical park devoted to peace and serenity.
Peace Arch is unique among parks because it consists of two parks in two countries. The southern half of the park and the monument itself is owned by Washington State Parks and the northern half, by British Columbia Provincial Parks. The 67-foot concrete arch, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, was constructed to honor the centennial of the treaties resulting from the War of 1812. These agreements between the U.S. and Britain established a peaceful, undefended border between the U.S. and Canada.
Take a stroll through the lush gardens. Stand on the lawn and take in the view of Point Roberts and Vancouver Island. Enjoy seasonal bursts of color from rhododendrons, azaleas, dahlias, hybrid tea roses and annual blooms. The sound of children’s laughter may drift from the playground to the gazebo, adding to the calm, happy feel of this manicured landscape.
Whether you’re headed north or south on Interstate 5, this park is a worthy stop and a moving reminder that peace is possible.

First Visit to the Peace Arch Park, United State and Canada Border
Alan's first visit to the Peace Arch Park 2015. He had a good time walking though the park, running around on the green lawn and through the Monument that stands one foot anchored in United State soil and the other one in Canada. It was a nice day, sunny and little breezy. The park is so beautiful. A great place to spend an afternoon with the family.

Peace Arch Park Canada-US border
The Peace Arch is a monument situated on the Canada United States border between the communities of Blaine, Washington and Surrey, British Columbia. The Peace Arch, which stands 20.5 meters (67.2 ft) tall, was built by Sam Hill and dedicated in September 1921, and commemorates the signing of the Treaty of Ghent in 1814. The monument is built on the exact United States Canada boundary, between Interstate 5 and Highway 99, in the grass median between the northbound and southbound lanes. The Peace Arch has the flags of the U.S. and Canada mounted on its crown, and two inscriptions on both sides of its frieze. The inscription on the U.S. side of the Peace Arch reads Children of a common mother, and the words on the Canadian side read Brethren dwelling together in unity. Within the arch, each side has an iron gate hinged on either side of the border with an inscription above reading May these gates never be closed. Peace Arch Park consists of Peace Arch Provincial Park on the Canadian side and Peace Arch State Park on the American side of the border.
Within the park is a major border crossing (between Interstate 5 on the U.S. side and British Columbia Highway 99 on the Canadian side) which has never closed, symbolizing a long history of peace between the two nations. In Canada, the crossing is officially named Douglas in honour of Sir James Douglas, the first governor of the Colony of British Columbia. Because of the Peace Arch monument, however, the border crossing between Surrey and Blaine is popularly known as the Peace Arch Border Crossing, one of the busiest border crossings between Canada and the United States. It is the busiest such crossing west of Detroit. The Peace Arch park has been the site of various international events and protests. In 1952, African-American singer and activist Paul Robeson, banned from international travel during the Red Scares, performed several concerts at the site. He sang from a flatbed truck on the American side to an audience in Canada.
One book extensively covers the history of the International Peace Arch. It bears the title, Sam Hill's Peace Arch: Remembrance of Dreams Past by Richard Clark (2005).
