Peace Arch Park

Peace Arch Park is a park straddling the International Boundary between the United States and Canada at the extreme western end of the main contiguous section of the two countries' land border, where it reaches Semiahmoo Bay of Puget Sound on the continent's Pacific Coast. (There are also separare sections of the land border further west on Point Roberts peninsula, and in Alaska.)

This international park consists of Peace Arch State Park on the US side of the border and Peace Arch Provincial Park on the Canadian side of the border.

The park is notable for the Peace Arch. The northern portion is about 9 hectares and is managed by the British Columbia Ministry of Environment. The southern portion is about 20 acres (81,000 m²) and is managed by the Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission.
