The well-marked Andy Jamault Nature Trail is a comfortable 5 km (3 mile) walk from the campgrounds to the site of Big Bert's discovery. This main trail is named after the man who helped develop the trail, a good friend and neighbour of amateur paleontologist Dickson Hardie.

Three shorter trails weave their way through the Pasquia Park as well. The Ski Trail, Shorty's Trail, and Fern Gully Trail will each take you on a scenic hike along the Carrot River.

Here's what you'll see:

• "The Shale" rock formation that indicates a marine setting;
  
• The "extinction line" believed by some to be evidence of the theory that an asteroid struck the earth and caused major extinction;
  
• Fascinating beaver dams and other wildlife habitats;
  
• Spectacular scenic views of the riverbed;
  
• Beautiful Ostrich ferns lining the valley;
  
• Huge volcanic ash beds, and
  
• Scientific teams may be on site. In the past, seasonal investigations have been carried out by scientific teams, including archeologists and paleontologists from the Royal Saskatchewan Museum in Regina, and the Canadian Museum of Nature in Ottawa.
