Take a look at Northwest Angle, Minnesota.
The only way to get to the town is either by boat, or to go into Canada and then come across the border.
It's freaking pointless.
The border phone is hilariousYep.

No one lives at the Northwest Angle, apparently. It's 100 square miles of wilderness.
Yeah, I don't get it either, but to each their own.
The border being closed is really isolating them though, and the lake is going to start freezing over soon (if it hasn't started already).
It was an unmonitored border crossing and after 9/11 they built some video conference monstrosity for remote monitoring that still pretty much rely on the honor system. It's probably the most ridiculous security theater I have seen in my life.Yep.

It's basically a wilderness/fishing resort for tourists in the summer. Nice place. But with COVID the border is closed so the only way to get there now is via a single guy & his boat lol (for non-essential travel)

Just as bad at Point Roberts, WA
I mean... Europe has plenty of spots with crazy borders due to millennia of conflicting land claims between various fiefdoms and the Catholic Church's holdings.
18th/19th century cartography standards are a far better excuse for slightly off-kilter border shape than The Landlord With the Bigger Sword Said So.

The only problem with the Northwest angle is that it's too small! Let's take the rest of the lake!
I still remember the time when my mom went with her co-workers to Duluth (I know it isn't Michigan) to go to a Walmart and Target back in the early/mid 90s because we didn't have them in my hometown.
Lots of Canadians actually go down south for Target. We call it Tar-sgae to make it sound fancy.
