The grille is framed by LED headlights at the hood line, fog lamps below, and the air vents complete the aggressive stare.

The muscular bulging rear fascia features a roof-mounted rear spoiler and wrapping LED taillights warn the competition not to follow.

Body-color outside mirrors and a body-color rear spoiler add style and performance. It rolls on 17-inch aluminum-alloy wheels. Inside you have a six-way adjustable driver's seat and a four-way adjustable passenger seat. The rear seat is a 60/40-split fold design and the premium cloth materials are soft and comfortable. Air conditioning, power windows and doors, and an integrated key with remote keyless entry and push-button start are all standard. The standard Nissan Connect infotainment system is run through the 8-inch touch screen in the center stack. Android Auto and SiriusXM work hands-free with the standard Voice Recognition system. Under the hood, you'll find a powerful 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with dual overhead cams, direct-injection technology, and a Continuously Variable Valve Timing Control System. Nissan pairs this with their Xtronic Continuously Variable Transmission with dynamic step shifting. It also features a manual mode and steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters. This powertrain gets 181 horsepower and 181 pound-feet of torque. You also get four selectable drive modes to tailor your ride to the road conditions. Auto mode is for your daily driving. Eco mode is for the long road trips where economy is everything. Sport mode dials in your throttle and steering for a more thrilling ride. Snow mode is great for those wintry conditions. Off-Road mode is engineered for dirt, gravel, and sand. Driver-assist systems include Intelligent Forward Collision Warning. This system watches not one, but two cars ahead. When it detects a sudden deceleration, it alerts you to slow down. Automatic Emergency Braking works with the Intelligent Forward Collision Warning system and will apply additional brake support if you fail to react in time to help lessen a potential impact. It also features Pedestrian Detection that works at low speeds to help you stop when a pedestrian enters your path. A Lane Departure Warning system uses sensors mounted high on your Rogue's windshield to monitor your driving within marked lanes. When it detects a drift, it will send an alert. Blind Spot Warning uses optical sensors to monitor your blind spots, alerting you when a vehicle enters them. Rear Cross-Traffic Alert does the same when a vehicle passes behind you while in reverse, and the Rear Automatic Emergency Braking system will intervene should you be slow to react. 2021 Nissan Rogue SV Trim The SV model has all the features on the S, plus a few additions.

Yet, if your life takes you places you hadn't planned on, the Rogue's available Intelligent All-Wheel Drive is there to get you through and back again. This intelligent system automatically adjusts power between axles when needed. When it doesn't, the system will send all the power to the front for increased efficiency. Now you can dial in your Rogue's steering, shift points, and suspension to match the driving conditions with five unique drive modes. Auto mode is there for your everyday driving. Sport mode features heavier steering and a sharper throttle for a more thrilling ride. Snow mode helps your Rogue stay on course through those wintry conditions. Eco mode is perfect for saving money on those long road trips. The Off-Road mode is specially tuned to handle dirt, gravel, and sand for when you just have to take that shortcut. Your Rogue is powered by a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with a Continuously Variable Valve Timing Control System and Direct Injection Gas system. Nissan pairs this with their Xtronic Continuously Variable Transmission featuring a wider gear ratio, dynamic step shifting, and an adaptive shift controller. Steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters let you put it in manual mode and enjoy the performance. This powertrain gets 181 horsepower and 181 pound-feet of torque. Nissan has included a few dynamic driving technologies to help you navigate difficult driving situations. Intelligent Trace Control lets you corner with confidence. The system will brake individual wheels to help you steer with less effort through difficult turns. Active Ride Control smooths out the imperfections in the road by adjusting engine torque and applying brake pressure for a smoother ride. Hill Start Assist will automatically keep the brakes applied while you move your foot from the brake to the accelerator if you're on an incline. Automatic Brake Hold uses the same technology to keep the brakes engaged when you are stopped at a stoplight — no need to keep your foot on the brake. As soon as you hit the accelerator, your brakes are released and you are free to fly. Interior Style and Convenience Comfortable seating for five and a tri-zone climate control system makes the whole family happy. Available semi-aniline quilted leather seats with heating and ventilation cradle you in a luxurious comfortable interior. A memory system can save your seat and mirror positions for two drivers. Opt for the dual-panel panoramic moonroof and catch a breeze or enjoy that bright starry night sky. The Rogue is car seat ready for any LATCH-compatible car seat, be it forward-facing, rear-facing, or a booster seat for you're little ones that are growing up so fast. Rear sunshades can be installed on the windows to keep your little ones shaded. When you exit your Rogue, the Rear Seat Alert system will remind you to check the back seat for anything you might have forgotten. Open the rear liftgate hands-free with the motion-activated liftgate. If it's cargo you're hauling, then the Divide and Hide system has six configurations. You can create shelving or a secret storage compartment in the rear cargo area. For more space, the second-row seats fold flat with the push of a button. The Latest Driver-Assist Technology You're on a different road when you're driving the all-new Rogue. ProPILOT Assist with Navi-link uses advanced 3D mapping on the highway, alerting you to speed limit changes and merges, and when Navi-link is activated, it can even guide you off the highway. ProPILOT Assist can adjust your speed to changing rules and can even help you navigate stop and go traffic. Nissan's Safety Shield 360 is standard on every Rogue. This suite of driver-assist technologies uses advanced radar and cameras to monitor the road around you. Intelligent Forward Collision Warning monitors a full two cars ahead to provide advanced warning of potential collisions. When it detects a sudden deceleration ahead, it alerts you with visual and audio cues to slow down. If you fail to react in time, the Automatic Emergency Braking system will lend additional brake support to lessen a possible impact. AEB also features Pedestrian Detection, which works at slow speeds to spot pedestrians crossing your path. Blind Spot Warning uses optical sensors to monitor your Rogue's blind spots. You'll receive alerts in your sideview mirrors when vehicles are present. An Intelligent Blind Spot Intervention system will alert you when you attempt to make a lane change with a vehicle hidden in your blind spot. It can even brake and help steer you back into your lane. Lane Departure Warning works with similar technology that detects a vehicle drift when traveling within marked lanes. Your warning is a gentle vibration through the steering wheel. Should you fail to react, the Intelligent Lane Intervention system will tap the brakes to help you back into your lane. Your Rogue comes with front, side, and rear sonar systems that beep as you approach objects, whether you see them or not. Should you become distracted, the Rear Automatic Braking system will intervene. A Rear Cross-Traffic Alert system uses rear-mounted sensors to alert you when a car or pedestrian crosses behind you while in reverse.

The below article is presented by Rydell Nissan of Grand Forks, North Dakota Nissan has been leading the way in the development of the continuously variable transmission for decades. Over the years they have advanced this technology to reduce wear and tear, improve performance, and increase vehicle efficiency. Overall, this type of transmission is extremely effective and some version of this technology is used in transmissions by almost every manufacturer today. However, a small percentage of some Nissan models were subjected to recalls because of issues with repairs. Nissan's response was quick, decisive, and designed to relieve the burden of repairing this transmission through a warranty extension and other measures detailed here. Learn more below, and if you need Nissan repairs in North Dakota, schedule Nissan service today. more Grand Forks, North Dakota Nissan Services: Shop New Nissan Schedule Nissan Service Ask an expert What Is a Continuously Variable Transmission? Image via Flickr by Camille King The continuously variable transmission was introduced in the early 1990s and performed so well that the world's largest professional racing circuit banned its use because it gave drivers an unfair advantage. Shifting is smooth and seamless with a continuously variable transmission. Performance is like having a variable gear for any driving situation. It delivers power efficiently and without traditional shift shock by using a chain and pulley system to travel up and down through the gear ratios. The result is smoother shifting, more powerful acceleration, and better fuel efficiency. Technically speaking, a continuously variable transmission and the traditional automatic transmission are both automatics since neither requires a clutch to change gears manually. Traditional automatics have anywhere from five to 10 or more fixed gears, but continuously variable transmissions don't have these so there is no shifting involved. What Is a Vehicle Warranty? Many are familiar with the term but have varying degrees of understanding. In simple terms, a warranty is a written declaration to the purchaser from the manufacturer that guarantees repair or replacement of the purchased item, usually within a specified time frame. In the auto industry, your vehicle probably has several warranties, each guaranteeing a portion of the vehicle. There are warranties for the powertrain which cover the engine, transmission, and drivetrain. There are bumper-to-bumper warranties covering everything on the vehicle inside and out except for wear items. These would be things like brake pads, windshield wipers, and tires. Regular maintenance items like oil changes aren't covered either. Bumper-to-bumper warranties typically run from five to 10 years or 50,000 miles up to 150,000 miles or more. As hybrid and electric powertrain options continue to grow in market share, these systems also get their own warranties like a battery warranty or hybrid system components warranty. You'll typically see a replacement parts and accessories warranty that covers all your repairs and guarantees they are done with original equipment manufacturer parts. There are also anti-perforation warranties that cover against corrosion of exterior panels from the inside out. These don't cover anything from the outside like hail, stones, or sand, or any type of collision. These can range from three to five years or 30,000 up to 50,000 miles or more. Why Is There a Year or Mileage for Warranties? Manufacturers are essentially guaranteeing their products with a warranty. Everyone has different driving habits, meaning that some will put more miles on their vehicle than others. This either/or approach helps the manufacturer find a balance for every type of driver. 2003-2010 Warranty Extensions When Nissan realized there were problems that affected a small percentage of owners, they immediately took steps to relieve the financial burden of repairing the affected continuously variable transmissions. One big piece of their plan involved extending the warranty free of charge. The extension applied to all Nissan vehicles manufactured between 2003 and 2010 equipped with a continuously variable transmission. This extension doubled the original powertrain warranty from five years or 60,000 miles up to 10 years or 120,000 miles. This extension is fully transferrable to new owners should the original owner sell the vehicle. Owners are not required to do anything. Should a problem with your continuously variable transmission arise simply bring your vehicle to a Nissan repair facility and they will handle everything. Another step Nissan took was to reimburse owners who had already paid for any continuously variable transmission repairs that would be covered by this new warranty, even if they had sold their Nissan. Owners just need to download the reimbursement form and follow the instructions. Additionally, Nissan reduced the manufacturer's suggested retail price of a new continuously variable transmission and any affected parts to further help those who might need repairs after this extended warranty period expires. 2012-2017 Warranty Extensions Nissan is now using a third-generation XTRONIC continuously variable transmission with Logic Step Control. This technology made its debut in 2017 and has since received accolades for its smooth, efficient, and responsive performance. Yet, as the technology progressed some issues affected a small percentage of continuously variable transmissions in vehicles from 2012 through 2017 model years. Again, Nissan's response was swift and decisive as they looked to relieve the burden of repairing these continuously variable transmissions. They extended the original manufacturer's warranty from five years or 60,000 miles up to seven years or 84,000 miles. This Nissan continuously variable transmission warranty extension covers a variety of items. Torque converters, Transmission Control Module reprogramming, seals, gaskets, and more are all covered under this extension. Rental vehicles or loaner vehicles are also covered while your vehicle undergoes these covered repairs. Which Vehicles Are Covered Under This New Extension? Nissan believes a small percentage of vehicles were affected. You might qualify for this warranty extension if you drive a Nissan Versa sedan from the 2012-2017 model years. Certain Nissan Sentra and Juke models manufactured between 2013 and 2017 might also qualify. Select Nissan Altima models from 2013-2016 may qualify. Some Versa Note models built between 2014-2017 are included in this extension. Have Other Questions?

When you need to tow and haul heavy loads, you need a truck that can keep up. Whether you're pulling your trailer for a weekend away with the family or using your truck to haul items for work, it's important to make sure that the truck you select has the power and performance to manage your loads. The 2021 Nissan Titan can tow up to 9,400 lbs. when properly equipped on the standard model, or up to 11,040 pounds if you opt for the Nissan Titan XD. Learn more about the towing capability of the 2021 Nissan Titan, and then explore our inventory of new Nissan Titan trucks and new Nissan lease and finance deals. more Capable Engine Beneath the Titan Hood Image via Flickr by truckhardware The 2021 Nissan Titan comes in five trim levels, each powered by a 5.6-liter V-8 engine. This robust engine is rated at 413 pound-feet of torque and 400 horsepower and is paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission that sends power to the rear wheels. On most trim levels, four-wheel drive is available as an upgrade, although this system often decreases the towing capacity on the truck. If you plan to take your Titan off the beaten path, the upgrade to four-wheel drive is probably worthwhile. The Pro-4X trim is designed for off-roading, featuring four-wheel drive as a standard. Additional features include Bilstein off-road shock absorbers, hill descent control, a radiator skid plate, an electronic locking rear differential, and a two-speed transfer case. Towing Features The Nissan Titan has a maximum payload capacity of 1,690 pounds, while the XD model can carry an impressive 2,390 pounds of payload. The optional SV Tow package is a must when you plan to tow heavy loads, as it bundles a trailer brake controller that allows you to adjust the trailer's brakes from inside the cab, tow mirrors, and a class IV receiver hitch with a four-pin/seven-pin harness connector. Additionally, Nissan offers several features as options that can improve the towing experience. These include: The remote trailer light check allows you to quickly cycle through all the lights on the trailer to ensure safer towing. Trailer sway control keeps your trailer firmly behind your truck, even when you're on rough roads or driving in windy climate conditions. Tow-haul mode includes downhill speed control to eliminate the need to hunt for gears, helping you to enjoy a smoother towing experience while feeling more confident. The Intelligent Around View Monitor is one of the Titan's optional safety features. It provides two views of the truck's surroundings and guidelines to simplify the task of picking up the trailer to connect it securely. The Titan is also available with a specialty Hitch Mount Receiver that is designed to work perfectly with the truck's fully boxed frame. A gooseneck hitch is available as an option if you want to further increase the towing capacity of your truck. Functional Cargo Management Features Nissan truck designers understand the importance of a functional and versatile cargo bed for truck drivers. The Titan includes unique cargo area features, including a cargo management system called Titan Boxes. This system is designed to keep your items securely locked away and stored and includes plenty of tie-downs located throughout the bed. Titan Boxes can be removed and used as portable coolers. You can also get LED bed lighting to provide a wider view of the cargo area, even when the sun is down. The functional Utili-track channel system adds five durable metal channels to all edges of the bed, while the aluminum alloy cleats can slide on the floor or walls to secure the items stored within the cargo area. You can also get your Titan equipped with a spray-in bed liner, which protects the cargo area and helps to prevent the risk of corrosion. The material used within the bed also prevents moisture from building up in your cargo area and can create a less slippery surface, making it easier and safer to load and unload the bed. Need to plug in a laptop or power tools while you're at a job site or away from home? The optional 120-volt bed-mounted outlet makes it easy to handle any need that may arise. You can stay connected, fully charged, and ready for anything. When your truck is equipped with Nissan's assisted tailgate, you can easily open it with one hand and avoid the heavy clunk of a traditional tailgate. This unit opens quietly and smoothly, making for easier loading and unloading. Powerful Safety Features The 2021 Titan is also designed with your safety in mind, as well as the safety of those around you on the road. Every trim level comes equipped with Nissan Safety Shield 360, a suite of active driver aids. This package includes blind spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, and rear automatic braking. Trailer sway control, which helps to stabilize the trailer you're towing, and high-beam assist also come standard across the board. The surround-view camera system is available in the Pro-4X Convenience package and comes standard on the SL and Platinum Reserve trim levels. If you want to be able to hook up a trailer on your own, this particular upgrade is probably worth considering as it provides you with a clear view of the truck's surroundings and allows you to quickly and efficiently back up to reach and connect to the trailer.

The new 2021 Nissan Altima is a midsize family sedan that was completely revamped just a few years ago. As one of the newer options in the segment, the 2021 Nissan Altima offers an impressive number of cutting-edge interior and technology features. Here's what you'll find inside the 2021 Nissan Altima. more Seating Image via Flickr by Rutger van der Maar The 2021 Nissan Altima has seating for up to five people, with enough space for most adults in both rows. The seats are some of the cushiest in the midsize car class and come with side bolsters that help keep you and your passengers secure through twisting turns. In the front seat, you'll enjoy 43.8 inches of legroom and 39.2 inches of headroom. Rear-seat passengers have 35.2 inches of legroom and 36.9 inches of headroom. This is equivalent to a total passenger volume of 100.8 cubic feet. To maximize comfort on long commutes, Nissan designed its seats with 14 pressure points that help your spine maintain its natural position at all times. These "Zero Gravity" seats are inspired by NASA's space technology and are said to reduce fatigue and stress during long drives. Zero Gravity seats also help improve the interior's overall feel. To improve driver comfort, an eight-way power-adjustable driver's seat comes standard and enables you to find the perfect setting to maximize ergonomics and visibility. This seat comes with a memory feature that allows you to lock your position into place. If a family member or friend borrows the vehicle, just press a button, and your seat immediately goes back to where you left it. To make sure child seats get installed securely and safely, the seats are equipped with a Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH) system. Materials Nissan outfitted the 2021 Altima with premium interior materials, including a leather-wrapped steering wheel, wood tones on the dash, and matte chrome accents on the center controls, shifter, and steering wheel. Accent lighting allows you to see knobs and handles at night. Interior seating materials range from stylish charcoal cloth to durable sport cloth to gray leather. An available Active Noise Cancellation keeps the cabin peaceful, even on bustling highways and city streets. Cargo Space The 2021 Nissan Altima's cabin has plenty of storage space for personal items. It also features cup holders that can accommodate cups or mugs with handles — a welcome feature for individuals who love their morning coffee. With 15.4 cubic feet of trunk space, the 2021 Altima has average-sized cargo space for its class. The car's standard 60/40 split-folding rear seat expands the cargo space, which makes it easy to stow longer, bulkier items. Its trunk also has a large opening, making it easy to load cargo. Technology Features The interior of the 2021 Nissan Altima is packed with high-tech gadgets that allow you to stay connected while out and about. One of the 2021 Nissan Altima's most impressive interior tech features is its 8-inch floating touch-screen infotainment system, which sits at the center of the dash, above the central air vents. The screen is intuitive to use and responsive to inputs. Buttons placed below the screen make operating it handy. A separate, comprehensive 7-inch information display unit sits directly in front of the driver. It displays crisp images and text. Other features of the 2021 Nissan Infotainment system include: Nissan Connect Services with HD radio and SiriusXM. AUX inputs, two USB Type-C ports, and two standard USBs. Nine-speaker Bose audio system with Bluetooth. Siri Eyes Free, Android Auto, and Apple CarPlay compatibility. Speed-sensitive volume control. Steering-sensitive volume control. Steering-wheel-mounted audio controls. Door-to-door navigation with detailed real-time Premium Traffic information. Nissan voice recognition for navigation and audio. Safety Features Apart from its impressive infotainment system, the 2021 Nissan Altima comes with a new set of advanced safety features, which are bundled as the Nissan Safety Shield 360 package. This package is standard across the Altima lineup, highlighting the brand's dedication to the safety of its passengers. The 2021 Nissan Altima's interior safety technologies include: Traction control system: The traction control system helps you maintain traction on road surfaces. It also helps control each wheel, provide individual braking, and prevent tires from losing their grip on rough surfaces or during bad weather conditions. Nissan ProPILOT Assist: Nissan's new ProPILOT Assist is an advanced driving assistance system that combines Nissan's Steering Assist and Intelligent Cruise Control technologies. It comes with a stop and hold function that brings the car to a full stop, holds it in place, and brings you back up to speed when traffic begins moving. Automatic emergency braking (ABS): The ABS immediately takes control of the brakes when it detects a possible collision. Around-view camera: The around-view camera is a support technology that helps you park easier using a virtual bird's-eye view from above the car. The camera helps you confirm the car's position relative to the lines around parking spaces. Zero body construction with rear and front crumple zones: The crumple zones help reduce the impact force in the event of a collision and redistribute it to various areas to prevent serious injuries. Blind-spot monitoring system: A part of the reverse parking system, the blind-spot monitoring system detects vehicles moving into spaces around your vehicle to help you drive safely. Lane departure warning system: This system helps you keep the car safely in its lane. It uses the front sensors to monitor the car and alert you in case of a departure. The system also makes necessary adjustments to the steering to hold you in your lane.

A highway for trade and wonder of nature, the Red River is one of the most distinguishable landscape features of the northern Great Plains. Learn about the Red River's history and explore its connection to the people of the region with Rydell Nissan of Grand Forks. more Red River Geography Image via Unsplash by jasonbrojas To understand the Red River's history, you should understand a bit about the river's geography and the landscape that surrounds it. The Red River begins at the intersection of the Bois de Sioux and the Otter Tail rivers between the U.S. states of Minnesota and North Dakota. Winding through the Red River Valley, the Red River flows north into Manitoba, Canada, where it ultimately empties into Lake Winnipeg. The waters of Lake Winnipeg, in turn, join the Nelson River, which flows into the Hudson Bay. To distinguish it from the similarly named Red River that forms the border along the U.S. states of Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Texas, the Red River often carries the name Red River of the North. Urban settlements occupy both sides of the Red River. These settlements include Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada; Fargo and Grand Forks, North Dakota; and Moorhead, Minnesota. River Depths and Wildlife Habitats According to data from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, the Red River is about 550 miles long with average depths from 10 to 30 feet. Clay soils in the region give this river its distinguishable opaque appearance. During the winter months, you may be able to see at least a foot or more into the water, but visibility becomes considerably diminished during the summer. Except for floods, the Red River moves at a leisurely pace through the northern Great Plains region's picturesque landscapes. The river's tree-covered banks are home to various wildlife species that depend on the habitats for food and shelter. Landscapes of the Red River Valley Located on the eastern edge of the Great Plains, the Red River Valley isn't an actual geological valley. When the glacial Lake Agassiz drained thousands of years ago, the release of water created a geographic anomaly in the landscape that surrounds the Red River. The plant and wildlife species that inhabit the area surrounding the river don't exist beyond a 10-mile radius of the river corridor. The muddy banks of the Red River often reveal intriguing artifacts from history. You may sometimes see exposed bison bones in the mud and silt along the banks. A Peek Into the Red River's Past Image via Unsplash by britishlibrary Massive glaciers once covered the land that now comprises the Red River Valley. As these glaciers began to recede, nomadic tribes arrived in the region. These tribes followed herds of bison and caribou through Minnesota and Wisconsin's forests into the Red River Basin's open lands. European Settlements According to a narrative provided by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, European settlers first arrived to settle on the Red River's banks during the early 1800s in the area of present-day Manitoba. French-Canadian explorers referred to the river as "Riviere Rouge du Nord," or the Red River of the North. This name follows from the reference to the river's clay soils, muddy banks, and silt-filled waters. Trade Routes During the early part of the 19th century, the Red River served as a significant trade route for the Hudson's Bay Company, which supported the British settlements of North America in present-day Canada. The Hudson's Bay Company used its early influence in the region to control the area's commerce for close to two centuries. The Red River was instrumental to the Hudson's Bay Company's transportation of beaver pelts and bison hides. Merchants used large boats and canoes to send these desirable commodities to Europe through the Hudson Bay. Eventually, entrepreneurial engineers devised the Red River's oxcart trail. This trail connected the Red River's trade route with that of the Mississippi River and routes serving other areas of the United States. As trade in the region further expanded, so too did the demand for more transportation efficiencies. Anson Northup, a 100-horsepower sternwheel riverboat, connected the Red River's oxcart trail system with the Hudson's Bay Company's steamboat docking landing near Georgetown, Minnesota. The extension of the railroad to Moorhead, Minnesota, in 1871 offered a less expensive, faster alternative to steamboats for transportation. By the turn of the 20th century, steamboat transportation slowly ceased activity on the Red River of the North. The Red River Today Image via Unsplash by bradydrogers< Today, the Red River is a popular spot for outdoor enthusiasts. Discover some of the activities that await you on and near the river. Canoeing and Kayaking Explore the Red River by canoe or kayak. Lindenwood Park in Fargo and the Hjemkomst Center's parking lot in Moorhead are two places you can go to rent a canoe or kayak for your next adventure. Fishing Head to the Red River for some of the best fishing you can find in the northern Great Plains region. More than 70 species of fish call the Red River home. Examples of fish present in the Red River include pike, sturgeon, walleye, and catfish. You can find a list and map of public access spots for fishing on the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources website. Biking and Hiking Bike or hike along the banks of the Red River. You'll find miles of trails ideally suited to strolling and off-road biking. Lindenwood Park and Gooseberry Mound Park in Moorhead make exceptional places to witness the Red River's beauty in person. Stay Tuned for More Local Tips for the Grand Forks Area Throughout the centuries, the Red River has remained an integral part of the Grand Forks region's landscape.
