The Highway 200 bridge that crosses the [[Red River of the North|Red River]] was replaced in the late 1990s, after constant flooding found it under water and impassable. Directly across the Red River on the north side of Highway 200, a small pond called Grandin Lake has provided the only close example of a [[freshwater ecosystem]] that is not a river. The table top topography of this region is impressive. There are regions of the Red River that have a one-inch change in elevation per mile.
