The Cub Hills[1] are a hilly plateau located south-east of the geographical centre of the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. The hills are in the boreal forest[2] ecozone of Canada and the landforms of the hills were shaped more than 10,000 years ago during last ice age. Throughout the Cub Hills, there are dozens of lakes and rivers and several parks.[3] The Cubs Hills are 150 km (93 mi) north-east of Prince Albert and are in the Northern Saskatchewan Administration District and Census Division #18. Several highways criss-cross the plateau to provide access to the various parks and other amenities.[4]
The principal highway through the Cub Hills is Highway 106, also known as the Hanson Lake Road, which begins at Smeaton and travels north into the hills then east to Flin Flon and the border with Manitoba. Other highways through the hills include 120, 912, 913, and 920.[5]
