Giant Ox & Cart at the entrance to the Village commemorates the
Carlton Trail, which passed over the spot where the ox now stands.

The entrance to the Village is guarded by a twice life sized ox and red river cart, erected in 1993 to commemorate the famous Carlton Trail.  The trail was the first overland route between Fort Garry and Fort Edmonton, best described as the forerunner of the present Yellowhead Highway.  It passed directly though Paradise Hill, over the spot where the ox and cart is now situated.

Deep ruts left from the passage of carts many years ago can still be seen heading west from town.  This is rather unique as in most areas the marks have been long hidden by cultivation or regrowth of bush and trees.
