Nut Mountain

Nut Mountain is a large hill (52°5′N 103°10′W)[6] in the east-central region of Saskatchewan. The mountain and several other nearby landmarks[7] are named after the wild hazel nuts that grow abound in the countryside.[8] The Assiniboine River has its headwaters near the Nut Hills.[9] Ron Petrie, writer for the Regina Leader-Post, was raised near Nut Mountain.[8]
