Porcupine Hills

The Porcupine Hills[1] refer to geographical features located in the prairie provinces of Canada. They are located in the Canadian provinces of Saskatchewan and Manitoba and are part of the Manitoba Escarpment, which was the shoreline of the glacial Lake Agassiz. The hills are located north-west of Swan River, Manitoba, and are the headwaters of the Swan River.[2] The highest elevation in the Porcupine Hills is Hart Mountain, at an elevation of 823m, Manitoba's second highest point.[2] Porcupine Provincial Forest surrounds the area.
