Porcupine Hills

The Porcupine Hills rise along the border of Saskatchewan and Manitoba, forming a wooded upland above the surrounding lowlands. They belong to the Manitoba Escarpment and lie near the southern edge of the boreal forest. Spruce, aspen and other trees cover the hills, while streams descend toward the Saskatchewan River and the lakes to the east. Hart Mountain is among the highest points of this rugged, forested country.
