Ambrose–Torquay Border Crossing

The Ambrose-Torquay crossing connects North Dakota Highway 42 to Saskatchewan Highway 350 through rural farmland where paved roads give way to gravel in the final approach. This small border station sits in a quiet landscape with minimal infrastructure, designed to process the modest flow of local traffic crossing between the two countries.

The first customs office opened at Dupuis in 1909 and relocated to Marienthal shortly after. This crossing evolved into a modest border post serving the agricultural communities on both sides of the boundary.

In 1906, the crossing facilitated grain transportation southward across the border in bond before returning to Canada until the Neptune railway branch opened in 1913.

This crossing operates with limited hours and remains closed on some days, so planning ahead is important when heading to this remote border location. Check current hours before traveling, as seasonal changes affect both sides of the crossing.

This crossing handles one of the lowest traffic volumes of any border station between Canada and the United States. The few travelers who cross here are mostly locals and occasional visitors, making it feel isolated and peaceful.
