The town's R-Y Trail Bar is named after a historic route. Merv Blevins, who farms in [[Bengough, Saskatchewan]] and Flaxville, Montana, describes the K-Y Trail as follows:
<blockquote>
“The road that runs from [[Regina, Saskatchewan|Regina]] down to [[Miles City, Montana|Miles City]] follows [[Saskatchewan Highway 34|Highway 34]] [which becomes Highway 511 in Montana] ... (it was used) when they were doing cattle drives and things back in the day, but it’s also used by our Native Americans to come up to the turtle effigy that’s located just south east of [[Big Beaver, Saskatchewan|Big Beaver]], that’s a holy sight for them and they come there and they have a sweat lodge there every once in awhile and they use the port of Big Beaver.”<ref>{{Cite news
