Well here is a question for you....I have often wondered where the balance point is in the Red River...what I would like to know is where the water goes north and where it goes south....we call that the balance point ( construction talk)....I sure would like a answer......thank you..

I have even asked ctv askus@ctv.ca no answer yet....

Ah, is this a trick question? If water flows downhill then your 'balance point' would be at the shallowest spot?
I don't know, just throwing this out there :dazed:

No tricks on this one Cory I just would like to know :bash: ....it's been on my mind for some time :dazed: ...there has to be a point where it flows north & south north on the Red River & south on the Mississippi River I believe...

I think it will be in Minnesota some where...I look last year when I went to see the Stones in St Paul but no luck...

Maybe this will help

"The Red River is a single-channeled, meandering river. It is 880 km long by length of channel or 456 km long in a straight line, from the confluence of the Bois de Sioux and Otter Tail rivers in southern North Dakota/Minnesota, to Lake Winnipeg, Manitoba, in the north. "
