Ambrose / Torquay – North Dakota 42 and Saskatchewan 350

This is one of the least-used border crossings in North Dakota, and is the 3rd lowest volume port between the two countries. This port is used mainly by local residents and perhaps a few vacation travelers. It is really off the beaten path through farmland and over some gravel roads.

Before heading to the border, be sure to review our pages on preparing for customs and prohibited items.
