Location of the Beaver Hills in Saskatchewan

The Beaver Hills[1] are a range of hills located in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan.

Yorkton is situated approximately 35 miles south-east of the hills.

The Whitesand River, a tributary of the Assiniboine River, originates in the Beaver Hills.[2]

Large areas of native grasslands and shrubs can still be found in the Beaver Hills region, and along the Whitesand River.[3] The hills are well-adapted for stock raising.[4]
