Welcome to Portal, North Dakota
Portal, North Dakota, is a small town but a big player in international commerce, boasting a border crossing between the United States and Canada that is open 24/7/365. Trucks and trains roll through Portal at all hours of the night and day as goods and commodities move between the two important trading partners.
Farming and energy development are significant economic drivers on both sides of the border, with both North Dakota and Saskatchewan contributing in both of these crucial sectors.
Between the area’s spectacular sunrises and amazing sunsets, the Portal area is an outdoor lover’s dream come true with gorgeous fields of yellow, green, and gold and some of North America’s finest hunting.
