Baudette–Rainy River Border Crossing

The Baudette–Rainy River Border Crossing connects the cities of Baudette, Minnesota and Rainy River, Ontario at the Baudette–Rainy River International Bridge.

Both the US and Canada border stations are open 24 hours per day. The Canada border station at Rainy River was rebuilt in 1991, and features a tall canopy that accommodates larger trucks than those that can fit beneath the bridge structure (14' 8"). The height limitations restrict the size of the trucks than can cross the border at this location. A replacement bridge was completed and opened to traffic in October 2020.

The US border station at Baudette was rebuilt in 1997.
