The Red River begins at the confluence of the Bois de Sioux and Otter Tail Rivers near Wahpeton, North Dakota, and flows north, into Lake Winnipeg in Manitoba, Canada.

Because the elevation of Wahpeton, North Dakota, near the source of the Red River of the North, at 943 feet above sea level, is 200+ feet higher in elevation than the elevation of Lake Winnipeg, at 714 feet above sea level, the Red River of the North does, indeed, flow north.
