PORTHILL, ID
Porthill is an unincorporated community in Boundary County, Idaho, United States, located at the Canada–United States border into British Columbia. It is one of only three Ports of entry for Idaho into Canada. (#3308)
It is named for founder Charles Plummer Hill, as is Hillcrest Mines, now part of the Municipality of Crowsnest Pass, Alberta.
Idaho State Highway 1 runs straight through the community and to the Porthill-Rykerts Border Crossing, and then becomes British Columbia Highway 21, which continues north towards Creston. The Porthill-Rykerts Border Crossing is used as the American Port only; Rykerts acts as the Canadian Crossing.
The north-flowing Kootenai River is just west of Porthill.
