And, to really blow your mind, you can hit golf balls SOUTH into Canada from the northern most point of Minnesota.

‘Course you have to drive through Canada to get there...but I have, indeed, done it.

It’s the farthest North point in the contiguous US.

Canada is south of Detroit across the Detroit River.

There is a similar, but much smaller, spit of land in Washington State. Along the Maine/Canada border there are many such areas but mostly they are very small.

There's a town that I've stopped at a couple of times on my way to Montreal called Derby Line,Vermont.It's right on the Quebec border (and right off I-91) and it features a couple of interesting things.One:the Haskell Library.It was built,intentionally,right on the US/Canadian border as a gesture of international friendship.You enter via the US but much of the building,including the checkout desk,is in Canada.Most of the books are in English but many are in in French (because it serves the Quebec town as well).

Two: "Canusa Avenue" ("Canusa" as is Canada and USA).There's a stretch of that road where the pavement itself is entirely in Canada but a few of the houses south of the pavement are in the US.Those people,whenever they leave their driveway,must report to Canadian immigration,which is right down the street.I've driven that street (out of curiosity)...pretty cool,IMO.
