Buffalo Head Hills

The Buffalo Head Hills rise above the lowlands east of the Peace River. Northern forest covers their rolling heights, with spruce, pine and poplar among the trees. Streams descend from the hills towards the Loon River lowlands, where broad expanses of muskeg occupy the wetter ground. Glacial deposits mantle much of the landscape, and lakes, marshes and fens lie among the woods and undulating plains to the south.
