Because of the large volume of Red River cart traffic, the ruts created during this period are still visible.

Half-way houses were established about every 40 miles (64 km) along the trail to supply the stagecoaches with a fresh set of four horses.

They were stocked with food and provisions for the winter months for stagecoach stopovers and a rest stop for passengers.

It consists of a small plot of native grass prairie that contains two deep and parallel Red River cart and wagon wheel ruts.

These marks in the ground are the remnants of the historic Swift Current–Battleford Trail and have been designated as a Municipal Heritage Property.
