The Portal–North Portal Border Crossing connects the cities of Portal, North Dakota and North Portal, Saskatchewan. This crossing is the only 24-hour crossing on the North Dakota–Saskatchewan border. It is also among the few places in the Great Plains where a vibrant community exists on both sides of the border. A major Canadian Pacific Railway crossing exists at this crossing as well. The Gateway Cities Golf Club, which was built in 1931 is adjacent to this crossing. While the majority of the 9-hole course is in Canada, the 9th green is in the US, requiring golfers to hit a shot across the Canada–US border.

The United States replaced its red brick border station with a large green modern facility in 2012. Canada last replaced its border station in 1987.
