Nighthawk chopaka border crossing top 5 facts
The Nighthawk-Chopaka Border Crossing connects the town of Loomis, Washington with the Cawston, British Columbia on the US-Canada border. The towns of Chopaka and Nighthawk effectively died off when the search for local gold proved fruitless and the Burlington Northern Railroad ceased operations in the middle of the 20th century. Canada has had a Customs office at this crossing since 1907; another crossing at Chopaka Road on the west side of the Similkameen River was equally popular until the US barricaded the road in 1964.
Canada built its current border station on Nighthawk Road in 1950. For many years, the US operated its border inspection services out of a trailer that was situated directly against the Canada–US border, as Similkameen Road parallels the border before turning northward at the Canada border station. In 1952, the Nighthawk border station was closed for over a year due to lack of funds. In 1962, the US built a small brick border station at this crossing. A new $6 million facility was completed in 2012. Nighthawk is a station of the Oroville Port of Entry.
