The Zavikon Island refers to a pair of islands in the Thousand Islands archipelago on the St. Lawrence River between New York and Ontario, near Rockport, Ontario. The Zavikon Island is located in the Canadian territory and belongs to the Leeds and Grenville municipal unit.[1][2]
A popular[3] tale among local guides is that the bigger part of Zavikon is in Canada, while the smaller part is in the United States, and the foot bridge between them is the "shortest international bridge in the world". [4][5]However, this is not true as both islands are Canadian Territory.
In 1985, the islands hosted the first Zavikon Conference organized by the Dräger Foundation.[6]
