The Porcupine Hills refer to various groups of hills and uplands in the Canadian provinces of Saskatchewan[1] and Manitoba.[2] They are part of the Manitoba Escarpment, which was the shoreline of the ancient glacial Lake Agassiz. The hills are located north-west of Swan River, Manitoba, and are the headwaters of the Swan River.[3] The highest elevation in the Porcupine Hills is Hart Mountain, at an elevation of 823 metres (2,700 ft), which makes it Manitoba's second-highest point.[3] The Porcupine Provincial Forest surrounds the area. On the Saskatchewan side, is the Porcupine Hills Provincial Park.[4]
