My favorite has always been Elm Point, Minnesota, a very odd piece of land extending from Manitoba into Lake Superior that is technically US property, and isn't even part of the odd Northwest Angle just to the east of it.
One of my favorites it the little sliver of land that belongs to Delaware, but is on the New Jersey side of the Delaware River. Apparently, it's causing quite a dispute these days, since NJ wants to build some kind of power plant near there.
