Woody River[1] is a river in the Canadian provinces of Manitoba and Saskatchewan. The river's source is in the Porcupine Hills[2] and Porcupine Provincial Forest of eastern Saskatchewan. From there it flows south through boreal forest[3] and then east through Boreal Plains in the Parkland Region of Manitoba en route to Swan Lake. The river parallels the Swan River for much of its route as it travels through Swan River Valley between Duck Mountain and Porcupine Hills of the Manitoba Escarpment. Bowsman[4] is the only notable community along the course of Woody River. Several highways cross it, including Saskatchewan's Highway 980, Manitoba's Roads 588, 366, 268, and Manitoba's Highway 10.[5]
