The Honda CR-V can tow a small boat or other watercraft, like a Jet Ski. With a towing capacity of up to 1,500 pounds, this compact SUV is ideal if you and your family want to take your small boat for a day out to the lake or a weekend trip away. Here's a rundown of the most important towing and payload features of the new Honda CR-V. more Honda CR-V Towing Capacity Image via Flickr by RL GNZLZ To get the most out of the towing capabilities of the CR-V, you'll need to upgrade to its towing package. This includes a number of helpful features that boost the towing limit of the CR-V to 1,500 pounds, such as a trailer hitch harness, a draw bar, trailer hitch ball, and a clip. If you're planning on taking your boat out to one of the many lakes near Grand Forks, you'll want to be sure that your CR-V can tow it safely on the road. That's where several safety and driver assistance features come in handy. Honda's towing package includes hill start assist, which will help prevent your vehicle from sliding when you start on a hill. It also has braking assist to help you bring your SUV to a rapid stop in an emergency with the extra weight of your boat at the rear. When you're trying to calculate whether your CR-V will manage to tow your boat, remember to include all accessories and additional equipment in your calculations. For example, if your boat and trailer weigh a combined 1,000 pounds and you have 200 pounds of equipment in your boat, you'll be well within the towing capacity. Remember that trying to tow more weight than your CR-V's capacity is risky, since you can diminish your vehicle's performance and put other motorists at risk. If you're looking for something capable of hauling heavier loads, we have other vehicles in Honda's 2021 lineup to meet your needs, such as the Honda Pilot or Honda Ridgeline mid-sized truck. 2021 CR-V Engine Power and Performance All of the CR-V's trims are equipped with a 1.5-liter V-4 engine that's good for 181 horsepower and a continuously variable transmission. You can improve this powertrain for towing by opting for all-wheel drive, which will help to balance the torque throughout your CR-V to provide more stability while you tow. Honda's Intelligent Control System shifts torque to each of your four wheels depending on the road conditions and what you're towing. The CR-V's all-wheel drive model is supported by Honda's Vehicle Stability Assist setting, which helps keep your vehicle from slipping when the road gets wet. The VSA also improves handling when you're going around corners, which will give you peace of mind when you're towing a heavy load. You'll be happy to learn that the CR-V combines good gas mileage with its towing capabilities, which help make this SUV so versatile. For example, if you want a fuel-efficient car for your daily commute that is also capable of carrying a little extra on the weekend or when you go on vacation, the CR-V ticks these boxes. With all-wheel drive, the 2021 CR-V still manages 27 mpg in the city and 32 mpg on the highway, which are impressive numbers for an SUV with a turbocharged engine. You can gain even more gas mileage in the front-wheel drive setup, which manages 28 mpg in the city and 34 mpg on the highway. Just bear in mind that this would reduce your CR-V's towing capacity below the 1,500-pound limit. Payload and Cargo Storage For a compact SUV, the CR-V has one of the largest cargo spaces. This is sure to come in useful if you plan on transporting equipment for your boat, such as fishing gear. Behind the second row of seats, you'll find 39.2 cubic feet of storage. If you fold down the second row, you'll have 75.8 cubic feet of space. The CR-V is ideal for loading heavy items, since its low height makes it easier to lift them into the cargo hold. The CR-V can manage up to 1,106 pounds of cargo in its hold. This should be more than enough for you to take a picnic and other items for a day out at the lake, or your family's luggage for a weekend trip. CR-V Trims and Towing The CR-V is available in four trims for 2021: LX, Ex, EX-L, and Touring. All-wheel drive is available with every trim for an additional $1,500, so you can take advantage of this SUV's towing abilities whatever level of comfort you choose to have inside. The two top trims, EX-L and Touring, may be preferable for you if you plan on lugging heavy loads in addition to towing your boat. The EX-L features a power liftgate to make loading up your SUV a breeze. The Touring adds a hands-free liftgate for even more convenience. The other main differences between the trims relate to interior comfort and technology. For example, the base LX trim features Bluetooth connectivity, a four-speaker stereo, and a dual-zone climate control. Step up to the EX and you'll get a 7-inch infotainment screen, satellite radio, and Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, which will allow you and your passengers to stay connected on your way to the lake. The EX-L trim swaps out cloth upholstery for leather seat coverings for a touch more luxury in the cabin. You can also benefit from memory settings in the driver's seat and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. The top Touring trim adds wireless device charging, which will prove popular if you and your passengers want to keep your devices charged while you're on the go.

Systems include adaptive cruise control with a low-speed follow that keeps your Accord at a preset speed and distance in traffic.

Should you fail to react, the Collision Mitigation Braking System will intervene with emergency brake support to reduce a possible impact. A lane-keeping assist system tracks your Accord within marked lanes. This system uses subtle steering input to keep you centered within your lane. The lane-departure warning system alerts you when it detects an unintentional drift.

The traffic sign recognition system sends images to your infotainment screen of common road signs like speed limit, yield, stop, and more. A head-up display comes standard on the Touring 2.0T trim.

It's time to introduce the 2021 Honda CR-V, a crossover that's as stylish as it is capable. The CR-V offers a spacious cabin with the latest technology to keep you connected regardless of where your busy day takes you. You also get Honda Sensing, a suite of driver-assist systems designed to keep you safer. Let's take a closer look at the 2021 Honda CR-V. more Engine Options Image via Flickr by Janitors A 1.5-liter inline four-cylinder turbocharged engine powers the CR-V. This engine has dual overhead cams and 16 valves with direct fuel injection technology. Honda pairs this engine with a continuously variable transmission for smooth shifting and power on demand. This powertrain delivers 190 horsepower and 179 pound-feet of torque. The hybrid CR-V uses a 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder engine and an Atkinson Cycle synchronous permanent-magnet electric motor. It comes with a lithium-ion battery. Honda pairs this engine/motor combination with an electronic continuously variable transmission. The hybrid powertrain gives you a total system of 212 horsepower and 232 pound-feet of torque. Both engines feature an auto-disconnect fuel injection system that stops the fuel pump when an accident occurs. Does the CR-V Come in AWD? Every trim has the option of Honda's Real-Time all-wheel-drive system. All-wheel-drive comes standard on the hybrid powertrain. The Real-Time AWD system uses sensors to determine when to send power to the rear wheels. Honda tested the CR-V's ability to tackle challenging terrain in the Mojave Desert. The CR-V uses a multi-link rear suspension with a rear stabilizer bar and a MacPherson strut front suspension and front stabilizer bar. These systems help reduce body roll for tight cornering and deliver a smooth ride. CR-V Drive Modes Multiple drive modes let you dial in your throttle, suspension, and steering to match the road conditions. The Sport mode offers the most thrilling driving experience. ECON mode helps you drive more efficiently. The hybrid powertrain offers an EV mode for all-electric power. Every CR-V comes with Honda's Eco Assist. This system displays a green light on the driver information cluster when you're driving efficiently. It shows blue or white when there's room for improvement. In this way, you can learn how to drive for optimal efficiency. Hill-start assist comes with every trim, eliminating roll-back by keeping the brakes engaged while your foot moves to the accelerator. Active Noise Cancellation technology uses cabin sealing and acoustic-laminated glass to block unwanted engine and road noise. Exterior Style This crossover's modern styling comes through in the bold front fascia's gloss black grille framed by LED headlights. Standard LED fog lights are set low and wide for optimal effect. Bulging fenders highlight the wide stance. The CR-V's sculpted side-body and available 19-inch machine-finished alloy wheels with gray inserts give the CR-V an athletic profile. Roof rails with available crossbars let you carry bikes, skis, roof boxes, and more. Stylish smoked-out LED taillights and unique style make the bodywork even more impressive. A rear spoiler mounted high on the tailgate features an integrated brake light. The dual chrome exhaust tips complete the bold rear fascia. Every trim but the LX gets the one-touch power moonroof. The moonroof opens fully for maximum airflow or tilts for less air. CR-V Accessories Accessorizing your CR-V with Honda Genuine Accessories goes beyond roof rails with crossbars. You can add running boards, cargo nets, floor mats, cargo mats, protective seat covers, and more. Trim Levels You get to choose between the LX, EX, EX-L, and Touring trims. The EX, EX-L, and Touring offer a hybrid powertrain option. A power tailgate with height adjustment memory and hands-free operation comes standard on the EX-L and Touring trims. The LX rolls on 17-inch alloy wheels, while the EX and EX-L trims upgrade to 18-inch wheels. Only the Touring trim comes with 19-inch wheels. The EX, EX-L, and Touring trims have Honda's Smart Entry with Walk Away Auto Lock system. The doors unlock as you approach your CR-V with the key fob in your pocket. When you shut off your CR-V, exit, and walk away, and the system automatically locks the doors for you. Interior Comfort A single-zone climate control system comes standard on the LX, while the upper trims have a dual-zone. The LX and EX trims have cloth seats. The EX-L and Touring trim upgrade to leather seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel with heating, and a leather-wrapped shift knob. The Touring trim adds ventilation to the front seats. In-Vehicle Technology A 7-inch infotainment screen with touch and pinch-zoom capability operates your in-vehicle technology. Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity let you sync your smart devices for hands-free operation. Bluetooth technology allows you to wirelessly stream your favorite music. The infotainment system has built-in SiriusXM, HD radio, and Pandora. A nine-speaker audio system with a subwoofer delivers clear sound. The wireless charging pad in front and USB ports throughout the cabin keep all your devices charged. By downloading the HondaLink app to your smartphone, you can track vehicle diagnostics, schedule service, remotely lock or unlock, and remotely start your CR-V. Standard Honda Sensing Honda Sensing, a suite of driver-assist systems, comes standard on every CR-V. The suite includes a Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS) that monitors the road ahead for possible hazards. In some cases, the CMBS provides additional brake support to help avoid a potential accident. A blind-spot information system and a cross-traffic monitor use sensors to detect vehicles in your blind spots and sides, so you can change lanes or back up with confidence. You get a road departure mitigation, adaptive cruise control, and lane-keeping assist systems as well. The 2021 Honda CR-V delivers an efficient ride. It's a versatile SUV with a comfortable interior and the latest tech to keep you connected during your travel. At Rydell Honda of Grand Forks, we know how a capable SUV can improve life.

Your car's radio is one of the features you use most when you drive. Not only does your radio provide you with hours of entertainment while driving but it also often serves as the center of your Honda infotainment system. It can provide you with access to your music as well as your navigation, communications, and vehicle settings. The radio in your new or used Honda operates as usual under regular use, but in some cases, you might need to reset the radio code. Sometimes you can reset the radio codes on your own, while other times you need to bring it to a dealer. If you need assistance with your Honda radio, the experienced team at Rydell Honda of Grand Forks is here to help. more Why Would You Need To Reset Your Radio Code in a Honda? If your Honda has lost its electrical power for an extended period, you might need to reset your radio code. A loss of power could occur if you replace the battery in your car, disconnect the battery cable, allow the battery to go completely dead, or have an issue with your alternator. In these cases, your radio could lose its reference voltage long enough that it requires a reset. This issue could occur regardless of the Honda model you're driving. If you lose reference voltage on your Honda Accord, Civic, CR-V, Odyssey, or Pilot, the radio code might need to be reset. How To Reset Your Radio Code in a Honda Sometimes, resetting your radio is a straightforward procedure. First, turn on the radio's power and press the power button for two seconds. Most times, this simple procedure will allow the radio to recall its preset settings and operate normally. If this is the case, you don't need to enter your radio code. However, this does not work in every situation. If you need to reset your radio code in a Honda, you must obtain the radio codes from your local Honda dealer or the Honda website. To receive the codes to reset your radio, you will need the radio serial number and your vehicle identification number (VIN). If you have a newer model radio as part of an infotainment system with GPS integrated, you will need to bring your vehicle to your local Honda dealer to have a technician reset it. How To Retrieve the Serial Number of Your Honda Radio To retrieve the serial number of the radio in your Honda, follow these simple steps. Make sure you have a pen and paper handy to write down the serial number of your radio, or you can use the Notes function of your mobile device: Turn on the vehicle's ignition (ON or AUX), but do not start the engine. Turn off the radio so the screen is blank, not showing CODE or ERR. With one hand, simultaneously press and hold the one (1) and six (6) buttons on your radio. With your free hand (and while holding down the one and six radio buttons), turn the radio on. You should see an eight-digit serial number or two shorter serial numbers, which might be separated by a dash on older models. Release the radio buttons, and either record the serial number on your piece of paper or type it into your mobile device. How To Obtain the Radio Code for Your Honda Radio When resetting your Honda's radio code, the first thing you need to do is acquire that code from either the Honda website or your local dealer by providing them with your car's VIN. Retrieve your 17-digit VIN from the driver's center pillar post, the driver's side dashboard near the windshield, your insurance card, or your vehicle registration card. Then obtain the five-digit radio code from your dealer or the Honda website. You will need the radio serial number in addition to your VIN number in both cases. This step should be easy and cost nothing. How To Enter the Radio Code Once you have the five-digit radio code from your Honda dealer or the Honda website, return to your vehicle. Complete the following series of steps to reset your radio code: Turn the vehicle ignition to ON or AUX, but do not start the engine. Turn on the radio. The radio should show the word CODE. Enter the five-digit code, and the radio should return to normal. If the radio is showing ERR instead of CODE, turn off the vehicle and disconnect the black cable on your battery for one to three minutes. This step will reset the system. Reconnect the cable and repeat the above steps. If you still cannot reset your radio, or if these steps seem unnerving, you can contact your local Honda dealer, and an experienced team of technicians will help you reset the radio code in your vehicle.

If you're in the market for a new compact crossover SUV, the 2021 Honda CR-V should be one of the first vehicles you consider. This crossover has an SUV body built onto the platform of a Honda Civic, which is one of the Japanese manufacturer's most famous compact cars. Find out about its on-board technology and safety features, power and performance, and available trims. more Shop 2021 CR-V Shop Honda Deals Trim Levels Image via Flickr by Stradablog The 2021 Honda CR-V comes in four trim levels: the LX, EX, EX-L, and Touring. The base LX trim comes with LED daytime running lights, 17-inch alloy wheels, and power side mirrors. Opting for the EX trim instead of the LX gets you dual-zone automatic climate control, heated front seats, a 12-way power-adjustable driver's seat, rear privacy glass, and LED fog lights. The benefits of privacy glass include filtering out sunlight and a slight improvement in vehicle security as a result of outsiders not being able to see any potentially valuable items left in the cargo area. The EX-L trim provides more luxurious leather upholstery, which is an upgrade from the cloth upholstery found in the LX and EX trims. Other exterior and interior features you'll find on the EX-L trim include a two-position memory driver's seat, a power tailgate, and an automatic dimming rearview mirror. The Touring trim rounds things off with larger 19-inch alloy wheels, roof rails, a heated steering wheel, dual chrome exhaust finishers, and interior ambient lighting. Power and Performance A turbocharged four-cylinder 1.5-liter engine comes standard on all CR-V models. The power ratings for this turbocharged engine are 190 horsepower and 179 pound-feet of torque. The engine uses direct injection technology, which means the CR-V engine's computer has precise control over the amount of fuel during the intake stroke. In layperson's terms, the direct injection technology enables better fuel efficiency and improves the driving experience. You can expect to get 28 mpg on city roads and 34 mpg on the highway for a combined EPA-estimated 30 mpg. All trim levels have their engines paired with a continuously variable-speed automatic transmission. Honda's real-time all-wheel-drive system uses an array of sensors to precisely calculate how much torque to send to the wheels during different driving conditions. Honda's attention to detail in focusing attention on one really good engine-powertrain combination and doing it well pays dividends in several ways. Rapid acceleration, impressive handling, and excellent fuel economy combine to make the 2021 Honda CR-V a stellar choice if power and performance are important considerations. Safety Suite The Advanced Compatibility Engineering structure on all CR-V models is a Honda-exclusive design that uses a network of front frame structures to absorb and deflect the energy from a frontal collision, which improves safety for all occupants. Moving on to specific safety features, all trim levels come with Honda Sensing, which is a suite of safety and driver-assistance technologies. Getting into the details of Honda Sensing reveals a truly impressive range of standard safety features that provide even more value for your money. In fact, Honda's slogan for the Sensing suite is that you get advanced safety features standard. It's rare to get this level of safety with a base level trim from any manufacturer. Honda Sensing includes features such as a collision mitigation braking system, adaptive cruise control, and a road departure mitigation system. The collision mitigation braking system brings your vehicle to a stop automatically when it detects an inevitable forward collision. Another slick feature to note is the seamless low-speed follow system, which automatically maintains or decelerates your vehicle speed to keep your vehicle at a safe following distance from the car ahead. Technology You've already probably noted Honda's impressive technological focus in terms of standard safety features; however, the CR-V's impressive technology stack does not end there. On the EX trim level and above, you get a 7-inch color touch screen with Display Audio. The benefit of Display Audio is that from a single screen, you get a gateway to the CR-V's main audio systems while simultaneously being able to access important smartphone features. To access smartphone features from the touch screen, you can use the included Apple CarPlay and Android Auto functionalities. You can choose to connect your smartphone using the USB slot, or you can connect via Bluetooth. The smartphone features you can access include music and messaging. The system also works with voice command technology, such as Siri or Google, for hands-free infotainment. With the HondaLink smartphone app, you can get reminders about service appointments at your local Honda dealership. The vehicle's touch screen works similarly to a mobile phone in how it lets you touch, pinch, and swipe your way through the navigation. Choosing higher trims ramps up the technology features to the next level. For example, with the EX-L trim, your audio system improves to a 180-watt audio system with eight speakers positioned intelligently throughout the interior for optimum acoustics. The 2021 Honda CR-V Touring trim goes even more high-tech with the audio system by giving you a 330-watt premium stereo with nine speakers. Some additional technology features on the Touring trim worth knowing about include a Honda Satellite-Linked navigation system and a wireless phone charger. The wireless charger works with phones that have Qi charging standards, so check your smartphone manufacturer's specifications to see if your phone is compatible. The navigation system uses GPS technology and an impressive database to find new destinations, get turn-by-turn directions, and even show you the way back home with a simple voice command. Contact Rydell Honda of Grand Forks That rounds up all the main features of the 2021 Honda CR-V. Providing the enviable combination of a stellar driving experience, great fuel economy, a slew of safety systems almost unheard of for base trim levels, and tons of technology features, the CR-V ticks several important boxes for a compact crossover SUV.

Local libraries are often the cornerstone of their communities. In addition to access to tons of reading material, libraries offer free educational access to everyone, provide a space for language learning, and create resources for people looking for jobs. Libraries connect a community and make it healthier, pooling resources into one spot to make access to education, job training, and more available in one place. Your library card becomes the key to so many different things. Our very own local library boasts a storied history. The library has served the community for more than a century, so it's no wonder the Carnegie Regional Library is still a pillar of our area today. Curious to know how everyone's favorite library got its start? Let Rydell Honda of Grand Forks take you on a trip back in time to learn more about the amazing Carnegie Regional Library — and why we love this landmark spot! more The History of the Carnegie Regional Library in North Dakota First things first: Exactly what is a "Carnegie" library? Carnegie libraries were built using money donated by Andrew Carnegie, a Scottish-American businessman and philanthropist. Between 1883 and 1929, more than 2,500 Carnegie libraries were constructed, with over 1,600 built in the United States alone. Carnegie libraries were also built in those years across the globe, including in places like the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Serbia, France, and Fiji, to name only a few places. All that to say, our own library is part of a grand tradition. The early 20th century marked a busy period in terms of library building in North Dakota, with 13 Carnegie libraries constructed between the years 1901 and 1916. The Carnegie Foundation required three key things back then in order to give funding to an area: An area needed a library. The location needed to be secured with annual funding. That funding needed to equal the amount of the grant. Grafton citizens wrote a letter to ask for a grant in March of 1902. In the letter, they requested a grant that would not exceed $10,000 for their library structure. Then, Grafton's citizens started a campaign, ultimately raising $1,240. Construction began soon after, and the library opened for the first time on Jan. 28, 1904. Image via Unsplash by matias_north The Grafton Branch — North Dakota's First Library! The amazing history of libraries in Grafton actually dates back even further than January of 1904. In fact, in addition to being the first city in North Dakota to have a Carnegie library, Grafton was the first place in the state to create a free public library and reading room. The public library and reading room were established way back in 1896. That's not the last of Grafton's list of library firsts, though. Grafton was also the first place to combine a bookmobile library's services with a city library in order to form a multi-county and multi-city library region. Grafton's Carnegie Regional Library can boast yet another first: It was the first library in North Dakota to receive Department of Defense funds during the ballistic missile years. The Carnegie Regional Library Continues To Grow The Carnegie Regional Library received a grant from the federal government and the Oscar Monson estate, which allowed the library to start working on adding to the library in 1970. Throughout the years since the library has changed, but the Carnegie Regional Library maintains that feeling of home it has always provided. Since its start more than 100 years ago, our library has offered a place for reading, education, and more. Current Offerings at the Library So, what can you find when you visit the Carnegie Regional Library today? Get your library card out to enjoy the range of services the local library provides. You can access public computers at the library as well as services for printing, scanning, copying, and faxing. Need to get something laminated? You can do that here, too. This library offers a notary public, making that process very convenient for locals. The library also offers proctoring services. You can even find genealogy services here. Our library provides a one-stop shop for checking items off your to-do list, so if you don't yet have a library card, now is the time to get one! The Carnegie Regional Library also offers access to online services that open up a world of opportunities to library card holders, all from the comfort of home. Take Mango Languages, for example. You can sign into the service via the Carnegie Regional Library site, then start learning that language you've always dreamed of speaking. The learning app gives you various exercises that help you master vocabulary and grammar skills along with cultural notes to create context and deepen your understanding. It's a great way to brush up on skills you learned in school or start learning a new language, and the Carnegie Regional Library makes it possible for you to get started with the service. Of course, you're not alone if the first thing you think of when you hear the word "library" is books. The Carnegie Regional Library has never lost sight of that central mission. Today, the course catalog boasts a wide range of titles. You'll find plenty of popular books as well as young adult, early and middle grade, and children's illustrated books available.

Whether you're the type to go hiking every weekend or you're just looking for a laid-back way to enjoy the outdoors, there's no denying the wealth of opportunities available around Devils Lake. This big natural lake offers places to go fishing, hiking, and cross-country skiing. If you'd prefer a relaxed day looking for birds and other wildlife, Devils Lake is the place to be as well. more Image via Unsplash by cadop The name Devils Lake has its roots in the Native American name "Miniwaukan," which means "Spirit Water." Early explorers in the area translated the name incorrectly, thinking it meant "Bad Spirit." That, combined with various legends about lake monsters and drowned warriors, gave the large natural lake its current moniker. The lake stretches for over 100,000 acres, boasting hundreds of miles of shoreline, so you're sure to find something to love when you visit Devils Lake. Not sure where to start? Let Rydell Honda of Grand Forks show you the many ways to explore. Walking and Hiking Around Devils Lake There's no better way to explore the outdoors than with a hike, and you'll find ample opportunities for hikes around Devils Lake. Head to Graham's Island State Park for walking trails amidst gorgeous scenery, or go to White Horse Hill for hiking trails and the chance to spot some wildlife. Pro-tip: Don't miss the overlook from White Horse Hill, where you'll discover breathtaking views of the hill and lake. Looking for a walk in a more urban setting? You can go to Roosevelt Park for a walking and biking path right in town. You also won't want to miss strolling through the downtown area of Devils Lake. Though less nature-based than our other recommendation, Downtown Devils Lake lets you take a walk through history while enjoying the fresh air (and getting in your daily steps!). You'll find a number of buildings on the National Register of Historic Places, including the Episcopal Church made of locally gathered fieldstone. All in all, no matter type of hike or walk you want, Devils Lake makes it easy. Check out the range of hiking opportunities and start discovering all that nature has to offer in Devils Lake. Bird-watching Opportunities Abound in Devils Lake If you're into bird-watching, you're in for a treat. The Devils Lake Basin boasts a huge array of wildlife species — and plenty of public lands from which to view them. So, what draws our feathered friends here? Our area is part of the Prairie Pothole Region, which includes wetlands interspersed with grassland habitats. The basin also features hardwood deciduous forests, which are unusual on the prairie. The result is a truly unique natural wonderland with a mix of lakes and wetlands, woodlands, and grasslands. That landscape contributes to the richness of birds in the area. And that's good news for bird-watching enthusiasts! Public lands you can visit in the Devils Lake Basin include Lake Alice National Wildlife Refuge and White Horse Hill National Game Preserve. Get out those binoculars, then plan a day taking in the amazing birds that call the Devils Lake area home. White Horse Hill We've mentioned White Horse Hill more than once here, and it warrants its own special shout-out. If you love exploring the great outdoors, you'll have so much to do when you visit White Horse Hill. Start by checking out the various displays at the visitor center before moving to the outdoor features. You'll find an outdoor amphitheater with programs focused on culture, history, and the environment as well as outdoor classrooms for study of wildlife and conservation. In addition to hiking and nature trails complete with interpretive stops, the area includes cross-country ski trails you can use during winter. Then there are those overlooks, where you can take in picturesque views of Devils Lake as well as the varied habitats in White Horse Hill National Wildlife Refuge. The wildlife alone is reason to visit White Horse Hill when you're exploring the outdoors in the Devils Lake area. While you're here, watch out for an impressive array of species, including: Bald and golden eagles. Bison. Elk. Foxes. Fox squirrels and gray squirrels. Mink. Muskrats. Prairie dogs. Raccoons. Rabbits. Shorebirds. Skunks. Songbirds. Waterfowl. Weasels. White-tailed deer. Woodchucks. World-Famous Fishing in Devils Lake Finally, you can't talk about exploring the outdoors here without talking about Devils Lake fishing! As the largest natural lake in North Dakota, Devils Lake boasts an array of fishing opportunities for any skill level. You'll find things to do in any season at Devils Lake, too. Fish from the shores of one of the bays, or venture out in a boat you rent. Have your own boat? You can use that, too. You can even fish on the ice in colder weather. Devils Lake is such a great fishing spot because it's a fertile prairie lake. The lake boasts large numbers of white bass, northern pike, and walleye — and, of course, plenty of perch. Known as the "Perch Capital of the World," Devils Lake has been ranked among the top fishing lakes in the United States. In fact, people fishing here frequently catch perch that weigh over two pounds. Not sure where to start? Local licensed guides are on hand to show you this lake's treasures, so you can take the guesswork out of planning a day out on the lake with someone in the know. Guides supply the boat and the tackle, not to mention tips and tricks for reeling in a huge walleye or trophy bass.

If you are looking for a car that provides modern conveniences, a smooth ride, and will last for years, a new Honda may be the best vehicle for you. Honda's range of vehicles have an impressive life span and are incredibly reliable. We at Rydell Honda of Grand Forks put together this comprehensive article to illustrate exactly why a Honda is a great fit for a wide range of consumers — from families to college students on a budget. Let's take a look at just how long a Honda can rule the road. more How Long Can a Honda Last? Image via Unsplash by emrecan_arik Currently, Honda's range of vehicles have an incredible life span of about 12 years. This is a very large increase from just a few years ago. As a matter of fact, the average age of compact vehicles was only about 10 years in 2009; however, Honda has pushed forward and improved on their vehicle design. Now, their products' life spans have seen close to a 14% increase. This also means that you as a car owner can have more peace of mind whenever you go on road trips or need to take long commutes for work. A Honda that is well-maintained and cared for can easily take on over 200,000 miles, making it a stalwart vehicle. Of course, you may be wondering how long it would actually take you to reach 200,000 miles. If you are like the typical American driver, you are most likely driving a little over 13,000 miles on average per year. If you were to purchase a Honda, you would be able to drive your car for nearly 14 years before reaching 200,000 miles. Better yet, putting that large amount of mileage on your car doesn't mean that it's ready for the junkyard. If you stay up to date on your vehicle's maintenance, your Honda can last for about 15 to 20 years. Let's take a look at some of the more popular Honda models. Honda CR-V First launched in 1997, the Honda CRV has proudly stood the test of time. For 10 years running, the Honda CRV has led the pack as one of the most dependable cars on the road. You may find yourself wondering how many miles the CRV can handle and the answer may surprise you. The Honda CRV can run for well over 200,000 miles and, if maintained with a lot of tender love and care, it can keep chugging along even past 300,000 miles. Like all of Honda's vehicles, the CRV can last for such a long time because of the craftsmanship and high-quality materials that are used for its construction. The CRV is also a looker. Its bold frame and strong body lines mean no one will be able to ignore you as you cruise down the highway. The hydraulic bushings also provide for a smooth ride. With sticker prices starting at about $25,000, the CRV is an absolute steal. Not only does its fold-down seats dramatically increase storage space for family trips, but the lockable glove compartment and side air bags provide a priceless sense of security for both the driver and passengers. Honda Civic The Honda Civic is certainly an impressive vehicle — it can run for over 250,000 miles and keep on going as long as you schedule regular service appointments to keep your car in tiptop shape. The Civic is a hardy car that looks as good as it handles. With its black, flared grille and vibrant range of exterior colors, the Civic is certainly an alluring sight on the road. A Honda Civic is also a great car for first-time buyers. Due to the Civic's reliability, you may not need to purchase another vehicle for at least 15 years. Honda Civics are an excellent investment since they are constructed with sturdy engines and car parts that are easy to find if your vehicle ever needs to have parts replaced. Honda Civics also boast excellent interior features to promote driver and passenger comfort. Such features include an automatic climate control system, illuminated steering wheel-mounted controls, and rear-seat heater ducts. These cars are not only sturdy but are also well-equipped for the modern driver. The Honda Civic comes with a reasonable price tag to boot. A new Honda Civic can be purchased for a little over $20,000, making it an excellent purchase for drivers who want an affordable, yet high-quality vehicle. Honda Accord If you want a well-built car that you can trust to carry you over great distances of both time and space, look to the Honda Accord. No midsize sedan on the road today can come close to beating the Accord's reliability standard. This durable, yet sleek vehicle can reach up to 300,000 miles if treated with care and if you make sure to schedule regular service appointments. With a starting price of just under $25,000, the Accord is an excellent vehicle for families or even college students on a budget. Its forward collision warning feature and auto high-beam headlights are just two of the great safety features that will put all drivers' minds at ease.
