Pembina North Dakota sits at the confluence of the Pembina and Red Rivers at the US-Canada border — one of the oldest settlements in North Dakota. The Red River of the North here is extremely prone to flooding, and the border crossing at Pembina is a significant commercial crossing point on I-29 between Fargo and Winnipeg. North Dakota winters bring extreme blizzard conditions that can shut down the crossing and isolate border communities. Pembina County is part of the Red River Valley flood zone.
