Pasquia Regional Park

Pasquia Regional Park, located 10 kms south of Carrot River on Highway Number 23, offers a complete range of recreational facilities. One area of the campground features an inner circle complex, which contains playground equipment, sandbox, volleyball courts and green space, all for toddlers to enjoy. In total, there are 72 electrified campsites within the campground (approximately $20.00 night).  A shower/washroom structure is at the center of the campground. There is also a separate electrified (eight sites) camping area with a gazebo building, which is often used for family reunions and other group activities. The regulation-sized swimming pool is   ideally located adjacent to the campground. Swimming lessons are provided from mid-June to the end of August each year.  In 2005 a challenging 18 hole mini golf course was built adjacent to the swimming pool.

Pasquia Regional Park is home to one of the most challenging nine-hole golf courses in Saskatchewan. Grass greens and irrigated fairways provide a lush setting for both the experienced and novice golfer.  The course wanders along the natural curves of the Carrot River.   In 2004 a driving range was opened and runs daily from 9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.

The Andy Jamault Nature Trail is appropriately referred to as "A Walk Back In Time".  The nature trail is a 5 kms educational adventure that winds along the Carrot River, east of the Park.

It accommodates hikers, bicyclists, and horseback riders, as well as cross country skiers and snowmobiles in winter. Scheduled trail rides are available in the summer.

The trail itself connects Pasquia Park to "The Shale", the site now revealing 92 million-year-old secrets. The area highlights acres of ferns, the shale rock formation, wildlife, scenic views of the Carrot River and, of course, the Paleontological site.

The Paleontological site and the fossils contained therein, tell the story that 92 million-year-ago, the Carrot River Valley was a vast seaway, rich with a wide variety of sea life.   The site is one of very few marine life fossil discoveries to be made from the Cretaceous period of history.  The fossils now being discovered here are among the most complete found anywhere.  While fossil finds have been known for more than 30 years along the Carrot River, it was the exploration in 1991 that led to the discovery of a 92 million-year-old, 7 metre long, teleorhinus (or crocodilian).  The crocodilian is now affectionately called "Big Bert". Since 1991, many more discoveries including large fish, shark teeth, plesiosaurs, dinosaurs and teethed birds. In 1995, the Province of Saskatchewan declared the site a Provincial Heritage Site.
