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.[http://www.bivouac.com/ArxPg.asp?ArxId=1068 Bivouac.com] The highest elevation in the Porcupine Hills is Hart Mountain, at an elevation of {{convert|823|m}}, which makes it Manitoba's second-highest point.
