Porthill

Porthill is a tiny community in Boundary County, Idaho at the Canadian border on the Kootenai River, a port-of-entry crossing into British Columbia in the far-north farm-and-timber country. Its life runs on the border crossing, agriculture along the Kootenai, cross-border trade, and the handful of businesses serving travelers and farms at the line.

Distance is no barrier, and we add on-site time when a project warrants the trip.
