Pasquia Hills[2] are hills in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. They are located in the east central part of the province in the RM of Hudson Bay No. 394 near the Manitoba border. The hills are the northern most in a series of hills called the Manitoba Escarpment. The Manitoba Escarpment marks the western edge of the pre-historical glacial Lake Agassiz.[3] The other four hills include Porcupine Hills, Duck Mountain,[4] and Riding Mountain.

There are three main watersheds that flow from Pasquia Hills, all of which are part of the Hudson Bay drainage basin. The rivers originating from the north side flow into the Saskatchewan River. From the eastern slopes, the Pasquia River flows east into Manitoba and meets the Saskatchewan River at The Pas. The Overflowing River starts at Overflow Lake on the eastern side of the hills and travels east into Manitoba where it flows into Overflow Bay on Lake Winnipegosis. On the south side, the rivers drain south into the Red Deer River, which flows into Dawson Bay of Lake Winnipegosis.
