Fort Covington–Dundee is a border crossing connecting Dundee, Quebec, in Canada to Fort Covington, New York, on the Canada–United States border. It can be reached by Quebec Route 132 on the Canadian side and by Dundee Road on the American side. The crossing is notable because the boundary line crosses through the now-defunct Taillon's International Hotel, shown as a line on the terrazzo floor, where it was possible to order a drink in Canada and play pool in the United States. The hotel was built in 1820, prior to the Webster–Ashburton Treaty of 1842, which redefined this section of the international border. The proprietors now operate cross border parcel service. The front door is in New York and the back Quebec. The Customs house is just on the other side of the parking lot.
Prior to construction of the current Dundee border station, Canada Customs was operated out of the McMillon Residence. The current US border station was constructed in the early 1930s. In 2014 the border inspection station on the U.S. side was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The border crossing is the westernmost in Quebec.
