[1] Middle River was so named from its location at the midpoint of the Pembina Trail.
At Old Mill State Park the river crosses an old beach of glacial Lake Agassiz.
Much of the Middle River's lower course through the Red River Valley has been straightened and channelized; for approximately its final 10 miles (16 km), the Middle has been routed to flow due west in a straight line.
